OYLA is a monthly printed science magazine for young people, designed to spark curiosity and make learning a lifelong adventure.

Why are we publishing yet another print magazine?
We’re here to swap mindless scrolling for meaningful moments. Here’s why it matters.
- Constant screen usage overstimulates brain’s drive system which leads to reducing focus, planning and self-regulation.
- Children struggle to concentrate on non-digital tasks, even for short periods.
- Emotional outbursts, anxiety and frustration are not misbehavior, it is neurological overload.
There is a solution to this problem, one that doesn’t rely on timers, bans, or constant battles.
