Not a lab with the answer in the back of the book. They replicate a real experiment, submit a confirmation or a refutation to a live worldwide dataset, and watch their contribution land on a map. Classroom-safe by design — no student PII, ever.
The worksheet lab vs. the real thing.
A refutation counts as much as a confirmation.
Students pick from research-grade experiment templates derived from a ~768-patent energy corpus, run them, and submit a confirmation or a refutation. Every result feeds a live replication count climbing toward a 50-confirmation gold standard. It’s falsification-first — a well-run “it didn’t replicate” is worth as much as a “it did.” No answer key.
Their town lights up next to the world.
Every opted-in participant appears on the Citizen Scientist World Map — students watch their town light up beside a worldwide community. Progress is a constellation pathway with achievement badges and a contributor leaderboard, and a live activity feed shows the whole community building in real time. Real stakes, gamified — the engagement you don’t have to manufacture.
Built to keep kids’ data out.
Grade-band-filtered classroom templates let you pick experiments that fit your lab and budget, and each one links its materials to a ready-to-order list. The load-bearing part: the platform never stores personally identifying minor data and never processes payments — classroom coordination is built to keep kids’ PII out from the start, and the map is city-centroid only.
Most of it is already live. The class packaging is what we’d build with you.
Straight answers.
By design, the platform never stores personally identifying minor data and never processes payments. Classroom coordination is built to keep kids’ PII out from the start; the world map is city-centroid only, never a precise location. Safety is the load-bearing constraint, not an afterthought.
Real. Students replicate experiments derived from a ~768-patent corpus and submit a confirmation or a refutation toward a 50-confirmation gold standard. It’s falsification-first: a well-run “it didn’t replicate” counts as much as a “it did.” There is no answer key.
Each experiment lists its materials with a ready-to-order shopping list, and templates are grade-band filtered — so you can pick ones that fit your lab and your budget.
Built for high school — the experiments are hands-on inquiry, data collection, and argument-from-evidence. Tightening the explicit standards alignment (and a lab-report export) is exactly what we’d build with design-partner teachers.
Participating is free; materials are yours to buy (with a shopping list to make it easy). Any classroom pricing gets set with design-partner schools.
A real result on a public map, a spot on a leaderboard, badges, and a build log they authored — evidence they did science that mattered, not a worksheet with the answer in the back.
