Hi Teacher!

We know how it is. You want your students to succeed. You want them to enjoy your subject the way that you do. And you want to see them engaged.

At Phenomena, we believe that engagement is the first step to STEM success. Phenomena experiences are approachable and fun, catering to even the most reluctant learners. We aim to present concepts intuitively so they are accessible to all students.

Phenomena is here to help. We make it easy to engage every student and give them the chance at success they deserve.

Sincerely,

the Phenomena Team

 

Here are a handful of ways that teachers use Phenomena Experiences in their classroom:

  • As a “do now” at the start of class

  • As a front-of-class demonstration

  • As the intro to a Socratic discussion

  • As a virtual / remote lab experience

  • As an alternative to a textbook assignment

  • As an extra credit option

We’d love to hear from you. Send us a note and let us know what your Phenomena experience is like.
