She Serves Brain Snacks to 300,000 Followers. She Is in Elementary School.

We're continuing our Generation Alpha Influencer Profiles series here at Generation Alpha Life — where we spotlight the creators, athletes, and artists from Gen Alpha who are doing something extraordinary. After our first profile on Silvia Pavlova, the MotoGirl racer, we're staying with the kid-as-teacher energy.

Meet Maisie — the kid serving "brain snacks" to hundreds of thousands of followers.

Who Is Maisie Facts?

Maisie Facts is exactly what it sounds like: a channel where a Gen Alpha kid drops fun facts about animals, science, and space in short, punchy videos. Pink river dolphins. Otters that hold hands while they sleep. What happens to your body in space. (Yes, including the questions every kid actually wants answered.)

Her tagline says it all: "They're BRAIN SNACKS."

The numbers are serious:

• TikTok (@almostjeanius): ~300,000 followers
• Facebook (Maisie Facts): 302,000 followers
• YouTube (@maisiefacts): a growing library of educational videos
• Instagram: an active behind-the-scenes presence

That's a bigger audience than most local news stations — built one fact at a time.

Wait — a Kid Teaching Science to the Internet?

Here's what the adults keep missing about channels like this.

Grown-ups hear "educational kids' content" and picture a curriculum. Maisie's audience hears a kid who is genuinely excited about the thing she just learned — and excitement is contagious in a way no lesson plan can fake.

She doesn't lecture. She shares. There's a difference, and every kid watching can feel it.

Her most clever move? The periodic table song — the first 20 elements and their symbols, set to a beat catchy enough to survive a school bus ride. That's not content. That's a study hack disguised as entertainment.

Here's the exciting part:

Maisie doesn't just broadcast facts. She takes requests.

Kids send their suggestions to the channel, and the channel turns them into videos. That flips the whole dynamic: the audience isn't being taught at — they're co-creating the curriculum. A kid wonders about something, and a few days later there's a video answering it.

That's the Gen Alpha media model in miniature. Not top-down. Not "experts" talking down to children. A kid, curious about the same things you are, doing the homework and reporting back.

Family & Support

Here's the part we always check before profiling a young creator: who's steering the ship?

Every Maisie Facts account states it plainly — "Run by mom." Her mother, Jeannie Roshar, runs the channels, handles inquiries, and manages the whole operation. The animation comes from a collaborator, the merch line is family-run, and the whole thing operates like a small family business with a very young star.

This is the model we love to see: a kid's talent and curiosity, with a parent firmly in the driver's seat. Maisie gets to be the face and the brain. Mom handles everything else.

Why Maisie Stands Out

• She made learning look like play. "Brain snacks" reframes education as something you grab for fun, not something assigned.
• She's proof of the kid-teacher effect. Kids absorb information differently from a peer than from an adult expert — and her audience numbers prove it.
• The request line is genius. Letting viewers suggest topics turns passive watchers into invested community members.
• Mom-run, kid-powered. The safest and smartest structure for a young creator: the kid shines, the adult manages.
• She's building a brand, not just a channel. Merch, music, animation collabs — this is a media property growing up in real time.

The next time someone tells you kids don't care about learning, show them a channel with 300,000 followers waiting for the next fact about otters.

They don't hate learning. They hate being bored. Maisie figured out the difference.
