Join the ExploreLearning Collab Crew

Making math and science serious fun for students takes serious feedback from educators on what really works in the classroom. That’s why we created the ExploreLearning Collab Crew.

Ready to join the Collab Crew?

Opportunities to provide feedback about new Gizmos Lessons! Learning happens best through exploration and discovery. Rooted in most states’ new standards that emphasize science practices in additional science knowledge (like the Next Generation Science Standards), Gizmos Lessons engage students in real-world problem solving as they explore scientific questions, gather and analyze experimental data, and build models to represent their thinking.

Powered by our classic Gizmos simulations, which are embedded within the Lessons, these scaffolded experiences guide students through the science practices of discovering and understanding complex phenomena, encouraging them to refine and iterate on their thinking through intentional reflection and personalized formative feedback all along the way. You could be part of helping us complete and test this exciting new addition to our suite of Gizmos products!

After you submit your application, we’ll contact you to discuss the program details and answer any questions you may have. Applying doesn’t obligate you to participate.

ExploreLearning® is a Charlottesville, VA based company that develops online solutions to improve student learning in math and science.

Ready to be part of Collab Crew? We hope so—because we can’t wait to hear what you have to say!

There are many ways to participate—from product previews and surveys to co-designing and co-testing. It’s up to you to decide how and how often to help. It only takes 30 minutes here and there throughout the year to meaningfully participate. All we ask is that you join us for at least 12 months.

The ExploreLearning Collab Crew is a partnership where ExploreLearning and educators work together to design solutions that are as effective as they are fun for learning (and teaching!).

As a Crew member, you'll help develop new EdTech product concepts from the ground up and test them in real-world classrooms like yours. And you’ll get early access to new content, a direct channel for product feedback, and other benefits for participating, such as:

What’s coming up?

I’m Interested

Do you love the real-world investigations in STEM Cases? We can’t wait to hear your feedback on the newest ones involving heat transfer, light and sound waves, chemical reactions, earthquakes, and human impacts on the environment!

Students investigate heat transfer solutions to protect permafrost, study sound waves to mitigate noise pollution, learn about light wave behavior to cool urban heat islands, explore chemical reactions to improve air quality and reduce asthma cases, and investigate the properties of seismic waves to develop early alert systems for earthquakes.

Current needs for review and feedback

Here are a list of STEM Cases we're looking for feedback on:

Smelling in the Rain: Improve Air Quality (subject: chemical reactions)
Sound Off, Please!: Reduce Noise Pollution (subject: sound waves)
Beat the Heat: Using the Science of Energy (subject: light and heat energy transfer- radiation and conduction)
Protecting Permafrost: Heat Transfer Highway (subject: heat transfer- conduction and convection)
Shake It Off: Earthquake Alert Systems (subject: plate tectonics and seismic waves)
