Core Knowledge Magazine
Core Knowledge Magazine is a student publication built around a simple idea: understanding the world begins with understanding the ideas behind it.
We publish articles that explain, examine, and connect important topics across science, technology, history, economics, education, culture, health, the environment, public affairs, and society. Rather than limiting ourselves to one field, we are interested in the knowledge that helps people make sense of how the world works.
