One of Phenomena's Engaging STEM Experiences
Phenomena creates engaging interactive STEM learning experiences for 5th- to 12th-grade students.
SEATTLE - September 14, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Phenomena, an early-stage edtech startup founded by three MIT graduates, announced the launch of its new creator-driven platform for experiential STEM learning.
Founder & CEO Jared Schiffman said, "This is the first edtech platform for digital natives by digital natives," referring to Phenomena's unique creator-driven approach. "It's a space where the mind's eye meets the creator's hand - where students learn by exploring and experimenting with dynamic interactive experiences."
To engage today's students, Schiffman believes you need to meet them where they are. Visual communication is the baseline for digitally native students who consume gigabytes of visual media every day. "Our visual, interactive approach serves two learning goals - it engages a wide range of students and it successfully conveys concepts that otherwise seem out of reach."
Phenomena is realizing this solution with its collection of bite-sized STEM learning experiences designed by creators and ready for use by students and teachers. Teachers can use the experiences as a "do now" to start class, as a demonstration or to bring textbook readings to life. Presently the collection contains nearly 100 experiences across math, physics, chemistry, biology and even music. As more creators join Phenomena, the collection's depth and breadth will continue to grow.
"Phenomena is a marketplace for digital learning experiences. Ultimately, for each concept, there will be a plethora of experiences made by different creators with distinct perspectives, and the best ones will rise to the top," says Schiffman. "And unlike iOS or Android apps, which take weeks or months to build, these experiences can be created in a day or two with the Phenomena Creator Tool."
The Phenomena Creator Tool is an intuitive, browser-based design and coding space that enables anyone to quickly and easily create engaging, interactive experiences. Publishing is done with a single click after experiences are thoroughly vetted by Phenomena. The Creator Tool opens the gates to a broad range of creators, enabling a diversity of STEM experiences for the diversity of STEM learners.
See all of Phenomena's experiences launching today at phenomena.app. Educators can share experiences with students by creating a free teacher account. Those interested in becoming creators can contact Phenomena through the website.
