Don’t Forget PhET’s Annual Campaign!

A big ‘Thank You!’ to all of you who have already contributed to PhET during our 2014 Annual Giving Campaign.

If you considered donating, but haven’t gotten to it yet, there’s still time.

Please help support PhET with a donation to our Annual Giving Campaign. Together, we have impacted millions of students, with over 75 million sim runs in 2014 across 200 countries and territories. And at a complete project cost of only 2 cents per sim run. Your donation now will fuel our 2015 HTML5 sim conversions.

Every dollar really does help.

Whether you’re an educator, parent, student, STEM supporter or a company, consider sponsoring 500, 2500, or more sim runs with a donation of $10, $50, or more.

Donate Today: http://phet.colorado.edu/donate

Thank you and Happy New Year.

A Quick Way to Find Device-Specific PhET Sims

ByDevice

Looking for device-specific simulations? With the this new page (http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/by-device), we’ve made it easier to find either iPad/Tablet or Chromebook PhET simulations.

  • ‘iPad/Tablet’ lists all HTML5 sims or those that have an HTML5 version.
  • ‘Chromebook’ lists all HTML5 sims or those that have an HTML5 version as well as all Flash sims. (Chromebooks support Flash.)

Note: once you’re in on the specific sim page, click on the Orange “Run in HTML5” button.
