CheckWorld
The Birth Of CheckWorld
There was a time when learning felt confined— four walls, textbooks, and the occasional slide presentation meant to capture the vastness of history, science, and culture. But for Artina Yaro West, that was never enough. An avid traveler, a former tourism correspondent, and a seeker of knowledge, she understood something profound: the world itself is the greatest classroom.
Raised on stories of ancient empires, scientific wonders, and lands far beyond her doorstep, Artina always believed that true education isn’t just about what we read— it’s about what we experience. She saw the spark in the eyes of students' when history leapt off pages, when physics became the flight of birds, when geography wasn’t just lines on a map but rivers rushing beneath their feet. And so, she set out to create something extraordinary.
She founded CheckWorld, driven by a visionary quest to educate kids about the world and the universe as a whole. As a frequent speaker at educational forums and symposia, she passionately advocated for a more expansive approach to education, insisting that students needed to explore the world's wonders, from the Great Barrier Reef to the Great Wall of China. She believed that providing answers to their most pressing questions about the world and the universe, kids could develop a rich, encyclopedic knowledge.
