“Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It's your place in the world; it's your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.”
Our Story
Our journey began when a scientist-mom Sarita Menon, realized that current magazine stands lacked publications for girls and boys who are passionate about science. In our current media-rich world, young children especially girls are constantly exposed to unrealistic beauty standards and airbrushed style icons. But there was no magazine that celebrated intelligence and love for creative thinking and innovation. Sarita felt it was time for a mainstream publication to open new doors and push the boundaries of how kids think about science and more importantly about themselves. And what better way to inspire our future generation than by celebrating today's female trailblazers in science!
The idea for Smore became a reality through crowdfunding on Kickstarter in 2017. We continue to grow this international community and inspire our young readers to embrace their love for science and technology...unapologetically.
Our Mission
Smore empowers young children to engage their curious minds and believe in their own brilliance
About Sarita
How do we nurture the wonderful curiosity and brilliance of our kids?
My journey from a scientist to a science magazine publisher began when I realized the importance of scientific literacy and empowerment for our future generation especially young girls. As a woman of color in science, I was motivated to create Smore so girls and boys can see the brilliant women who have worked their way to the top of male-dominated fields being celebrated for their work. A magazine that sends a strong message: Build robots, go to space or cure a disease; you can be anything you want to be. This is how Smore hopes to nurture curiosity and ignite brilliance in kids.
