Rion Nakaya is a veteran educational media curator who bridges the digital divide between quality online content and meaningful learning experiences.

As the founder and editor of The Kid Should See This (TKSST.com), a Webby Award-winning collection of 7,000+ kid-friendly videos, she has spent over a decade curating exceptional educational media that sparks curiosity and conversations across generations. Her focus amplifies creators who are illuminating STEAM topics, history, culture, sustainability, and nature, making complex subjects accessible and engaging for educators and parents to share with their kids.

Drawing from her California Naturalist certification, public radio and podcast collabs, and current role in library services—combined with two decades of brand strategy and UX design experience for museums, non-profits, and Fortune 100 companies—Nakaya offers insights into:

• Digital media literacy and quality content discovery
• Non-fiction book selection and recommendations for young readers
• The intersection of technology and educational experiences

Through TKSST.com and its gift guide featuring carefully selected non-fiction children's books, educational toys, and more, she demonstrates how thoughtful curation can transform online content into valuable educational resources for classroom learning and family discussions.
