BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. animated movies engage via narrative, humor, and characters who speak in a voice that students can relate to, encouraging self-directed learning and further exploration of the world around them.

Coding, movie making, concept mapping, and reflection tools pair with writing, drawing, and primary source activities to spark deeper thinking and creative construction around our content.

Carefully vetted games, simulations, and coding exercises from the world’s leading learning game designers let kids tackle complex concepts, take on different roles, collaborate, and strengthen their systems-thinking skills in the game environment. Trial, error, and even failure become safe paths to learning.

Play shouldn’t come at the expense of meaningful assessment. Challenging, multi-dimensional tasks and games that call upon systems thinking and cognitive skills like categorization, sequencing, and close reading — without disrupting learner engagement — are essential. BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. provide insights, facilitate feedback, and help guide future instruction.
