Quirky Kid introduced Power Up! as its first online program, marking an early move from clinic and workshop delivery into structured digital learning for children and young people.
The online model combined an illustrated workbook with animated lessons that participants could work through independently or with support from parents, coaches, teachers or psychologists.
Quirky Kid’s original announcement explicitly described Power Up! as the organisation’s first online program. The exact launch date is not independently verified, so the historical date has been left unset in the Company News record.
Taking performance psychology beyond workshops
Power Up! teaches practical performance psychology skills including goal setting, self-talk, imagery, focus and attention control, arousal regulation and competition planning.
Moving those concepts online meant young people could revisit the material between sessions and work through the program in settings such as sport, music, performance and academic preparation.
An early blended-learning model
The program combined physical publishing with digital delivery rather than replacing one with the other. Participants received a substantial workbook alongside access to online animated content, creating an early blended-learning model within Quirky Kid’s resource range.
The approach remains visible in the current Power Up! resource, which continues to pair a physical workbook with online video lessons.
Quirky Kid’s current school program page also retains the combination of workbook-based activities and animated digital learning.
Part of Quirky Kid’s digital development
The online version of Power Up! followed the program’s 2014 launch and national Educational Publishing Award recognition.

As an early digital initiative, Power Up! foreshadowed later Quirky Kid work exploring how psychology content and support could be delivered beyond the consulting room, including the development of BriteChild.
