We’re excited to announce that content for pre-K through the fifth grade is now available in Kuder Galaxy®. The new Galaxy — which was released with content for students in grades three through five in August 2018 — is an online career awareness system for elementary students that makes learning about the world of work fun through a series of engaging games, activities, and experiences.

Galaxy provides educators with flexible administrative tools to map content (activities and games) and/or “I” statements (learning targets, “I can” statements) to additional standards or frameworks such as social-emotional learning (SEL), The Leader in Me®, and state or local counseling standards. The “I” statements also support building student portfolios.

Launch students into a universe of possibilities.


The new Kuder Galaxy® is an online career awareness system for all students in grades pre-K through five that makes learning about the world of work fun by igniting the playful spirit of young learners through a series of engaging games, activities, and experiences.

Galaxy offers access on laptops, desktops, and tablets. Designed for usability, Galaxy boasts a blend of video, text, and audio narration (in English or Spanish) for young learners.
