Kinful enhances social-emotional learning in your classroom.
Kinful is a turnkey social-emotional learning program powered by student-created virtual reality. Our Kinful Kit will be delivered straight to your door with all the materials (and training!) necessary for you to guide your students through over 100 hands-on SEL exercises. Of course, that includes virtual reality headsets and cameras, so your students can use cutting-edge technology to actively listen to and inform others about issues important to them; as well as a global library of student-created VR videos, so your students can hone their SEL skills by stepping into the perspective of other students from around the world.
Why Social-Emotional Learning
Why Social-Emotional Learning
The Solution
The Problem
Students need opportunities to develop social-emotional learning (SEL) skills that not only improve academic performance, but also increase empathy, reduce depression and stress, and are highly effective in addressing initiatives like anti-bullying; diversity and inclusion; and special education. However, schools often struggle to find ways to integrate SEL into their curricula.
Make social-emotional learning technologically exciting for the students and easy to facilitate for the teachers. When an SEL program doesn’t require a teacher to make an extra trip to the grocery store for supplies, it immediately becomes more accessible. When it is powered by student-created VR, it becomes unforgettable. With the Kinful Kit, you’ll receive everything (and we really mean everything!) you need to launch a one-of-a-kind SEL program in your classroom.

The Kinful curriculum uses virtual reality to unlock social-emotional competencies through experiential learning. Through virtual reality, students are immersed in the perspective of others, and afterwards are guided through in-classroom exercises to discuss the experience.
Social-Emotional Learning Competencies
SEL emphasizes mastery of 5 core skills that prepare students for social success, as well as boost academic achievement.
- Self-awareness
- Self-management
- Social awareness
- Relationship skills
