Spark a lifelong love of learning with engaging STEM experiences

Phenomena is fun for kids of all ages

Parents and kids love Phenomena

"Phenomena was instantly engaging for my son. He spent hours working through several of the experiences, and was really interested. A few days later, when he had some downtime, he asked to do Phenomena again!

– Roy, Parent

“My daughter loves to be challenged! And Phenomena does just that. She loves to explore the experiences, and they hold her focus and attention. As the mom of a bright middle schooler looking for challenge, I give Phenomena two thumbs up!”

–Jill, Parent

“As a parent, I love that it's something we can do together, where the app is leading him but there is a role for me to watch him experiment with the rich interactive scenarios, revel in his discoveries, and guide him when the need arises."

- Sahil, Parent

Our experiences have just the right blend of play and challenge to engage kids and keep them coming back for more!

FAQ

  • Every child grows up learning about math and science through their interactions with the world around them. Yet when they encounter these subjects in school, it’s often through textbooks that make it hard to connect a child’s dynamic lived experiences to static text and images. We developed Phenomena to help every child feel that STEM concepts are within their reach and fun to learn.

    Phenomena supports kids whether they’re learning independently or with a class, at home or in school. It helps kids explore new ideas and concepts in math and science, whether or not these subjects are part of any particular curriculum. With Phenomena, kids see that math and science aren’t separate subjects, they’re languages that help us describe the world.

  • We developed Phenomena for ages 10-14, but we quickly saw that these experiences excite learners of any age. We’ve seen kids from 8 - 18+ learn independently with Phenomena, and we’ve developed plenty of experiences featuring topics like integrals that are found in high school or even college courses. With Phenomena, kids (and adults!) can explore patterns and relationships to build understanding at multiple levels, with or without layering on the math or variables used to express these concepts.

  • With your subscription, you will receive a weekly email with links to three new experiences. You can open the experiences directly from the email or log in to your Phenomena account and open them from your dashboard. You and your child will never lose access to these experiences — they will always appear in your Phenomena account library.

  • Phenomena is not an app, and there is nothing to download. Our experiences are hosted on our website and can be opened in any web browser.

  • Because they are web-based, Phenomena experiences can be used on any device that runs a web browser, including mobile phones. However, for the best experience, we recommend engaging with Phenomena on a larger screen.

  • That’s up to you! Phenomena experiences are easy to use and intuitive, so you can let your child play and learn independently. If you’d like to learn with your child, we’ve included some videos and explainers that help you talk with your child about the math and science behind each experience. And of course, parents can get just as much out of playing with these experiences as their kids! After all, who doesn’t love having an “a-ha!” moment?
