About Onlock
Our Mission
Making the hardest subjects actually addictive to learn - short-form, gamified, and built for how Gen Z thinks.
Why We Exist
We're surrounded by fast, addictive content - but when it comes to learning, we're stuck with outdated methods.
Gen Z spends 7+ hours a day scrolling TikTok and YouTube. Meanwhile, classrooms still rely on textbooks and lectures.
- 73% of students feel bored or disengaged in class
- 50% of STEM majors drop out
STEM is the future - but the way we teach it is broken.
Onlock flips the script. We're building a platform that makes learning as engaging as the apps we use every day.
What Makes Onlock Different
- Short-Form, AI-Enhanced
Each lesson is under 60 seconds - clear, visual, and built to stick. - No Jargon, Just Clarity
We explain things the way a friend would - no unnecessary big words used. - Real-World Understanding
It's not about memorizing - it's about seeing how things actually work. - STEM is Trainable
We believe STEM isn't about talent - it's about reps. Like building muscle, you get stronger with practice. - Made for Attention
From pacing to visuals, every second is optimized for Gen Z brains - not 90s classrooms.
Our Story
Onlock began with a simple realization:
The same design tricks that make TikToks addictive could make learning irresistible - if used right.
So I (Kab) started testing the idea - creating short-form STEM videos built for Gen Z: fast, visual, and actually clear.
It took off.
300M+ views, 1M+ followers, thousands of comments like "this made physics click."
Now, Onlock is evolving from viral content into a full learning platform - built by students, for students - to make STEM education finally fit the way we think and learn today.
Who We Are
