Through their engaging learning resources on evolution, artificial intelligence, politics, and more, Sapienship is fostering scientific thinking and spotlighting how we can address global challenges by working together. Below, hear from Sapienship Head of Education Nadav Neuman and learn more about the organization's work.

What does Sapienship do?

Sapienship is a content and production company with a big heart and a clear mission: to build trust and collaboration among people everywhere, so we can face the challenges of our shared future together, from artificial intelligence to the climate crisis and peace between nations.

We love turning big ideas into experiences that are both fun and meaningful. We create books for curious young readers, design creative tools for teachers, and share simple explainers that make complex topics easy to understand.

Sapienship was founded by two remarkable people, Itzik Yahav, a creative producer and entrepreneur, and his husband Professor Yuval Noah Harari, a bestselling author and one of today’s most inspiring thinkers.

What's one fun fact that LabXchange users should know about your organization?

Our team is spread all over the world and includes historians, philosophers, designers, writers, and more. A typical group chat might jump from debating evolution to exploring the power of imagination; and an hour later, the same crew will be writing a script for a YouTube Short. We love mixing scientific curiosity, creativity, and joy in everything we do.

What motivates you to work in science education?

We’re motivated by the idea that scientific thinking can build empathy, trust, and awe: the ability to look beyond borders, question assumptions, rethink about the universe and make decisions grounded in evidence and our shared humanity.

Which content are you most proud of?

We’re especially proud of our Unstoppable Us Detective Game—now on LabXchange!

It’s an interactive adventure where students help a science professor escape her lab by solving puzzles about DNA, embryos, and evolution. The game makes complex science ideas accessible, playful, and full of wonder.

We also create ongoing educational content through Sapienship Lab, our digital platform that translates big global ideas into short, visually engaging content for high schoolers as well as lifelong learners. We’re especially proud in our video on the evolution of math and the human brain, and in our podcast series on the near future, “Screen Lock."

How can learners and educators best use your content?

The Unstoppable Us Detective Game is best used as an introduction to evolutionary theory or as an engaging way to deepen understanding after students have learned the basics. It works well in a classroom setting—whether screened by a teacher, played collaboratively in groups, or explored individually. It also makes for a fun and meaningful parent–child activity at home.

We also encourage educators to use Sapienship Lab’s activities as class starters—a way to connect science to broader human stories and moral questions. Learners can explore them independently or as part of classroom debates, creative projects, or interdisciplinary lessons that bridge biology, history, and ethics.

What does Sapienship have planned for the future?

We plan to produce and publish more classroom games and interactive activities around the biggest questions of the 21st century—from AI and the future of intelligence to war and peace, climate and the environment, and ultimately, what it means to be human.

Our goal is to help students not only learn about these topics but think critically about their ethical and social implications. Through playful, story-driven learning experiences, we hope to inspire the next generation to see themselves as active participants in shaping our shared future.
