What we stand for

Our editorial values

Every issue of OYLA is built around a simple idea: if you respect children’s curiosity, they will rise to meet any challenge — from quantum physics to climate science.

????

Real science, not “kids’ science”

We work with scientists, educators and science communicators to explain complex ideas accurately — in language young readers can actually enjoy.

????

Ad-free & calm by design

No ads, no pop-ups, no notifications — just beautifully designed pages, illustrations, experiments and stories that invite deep focus.

????

Parents & teachers as partners

Many families read OYLA together. We include context, prompts and big-picture questions so adults can join the conversation, not just supervise it.

Well, here's our answer.

Why are we publishing yet another print magazine?

Reading vs watching

Reading is the most efficient way of learning new information. When we say "the most efficient," we don't necessarily mean the easiest or the fastest — we refer to how much information you absorb relative to the total content consumed. To understand this idea better, consider the following example. When you watch a video, you may feel like you understand its main argument perfectly well. But in most cases, you'll struggle to remember it later. This happens because you're passively consuming the video's content without making the conscious effort to integrate the information and create new knowledge. In other words, your attention is drawn to the words and images but not to the ideas they're supposed to represent. By contrast, the unique format of our magazine sparks the imagination and delivers complex ideas clearly, efficiently, and without any unnecessary distractions.
Paper vs iPad
What was the last thing you did on your phone? Was it checking your messenger or scrolling social media feeds? The constant flow of notifications and pop-ups train us to feel like we're constantly missing out on something important. In fact, there is an entire industry fighting for your attention via your gadget's screen, and it's probably winning. But there is a chance of resisting it! Our magazine is a learning space free of pop-ups and ads, and it doesn't have to be plugged in or recharged. You can take it anywhere you want, and it's yours for life.
OYLA vs others
Here are just a few things:
- No ads
- High-quality content
- Accessibility

You may think that these features on their own are nothing special, but we're offering the complete package: 100 pages of science knowledge, colourful graphics, and engaging activities with no ads or distractions.

And this is why we're publishing "another" print magazine — there's really nothing like it!
Our team is based in Sydney, NSW and Brisbane, QLD and is passionate about bringing the wonders of science to young minds!
OYLA Magazine is currently available in 30+ libraries and enjoyed by students in100+ schools across Australia.
