PhET Blog

We will be upgrading the PhET servers on Tuesday, November 24 at 5:30 PM Mountain Standard Time. We expect that the maintenance will last only 60 minutes. During this time, PhET (http://phet.colorado.edu) may experience periods of unavailability. If you experience persistent issues, please e-mail the PhET Help Desk at phethelp@colorado.edu.

Thanks for your patience during our system maintenance.

Visit our Research page to see what kind of research we do around PhET simulations.

Excited that PhET Director Kathy Perkins will be speaking today at the 2015 Next Generation STEM Learning for All Forum

Assistive Technologies for Learning: Broadening Participation in STEM
Room: Salon 2
Jenna Gorlewicz, Ethan Danahy, Kathy Perkins, Donna Lange, and Richard Ladner
Technology has propelled personalized learning for students and has expanded our ability to understand and address disability-based differences in STEM education and workforce participation. Learn about innovative technologies, resources, and research discoveries that can contribute to a learner-centered climate for students with disabilities. How can these approaches become broadly integrated into next generation STEM schools?

Our volunteer translators have been busy and Hooke’s Law (just recently published) is already available in five languages. More to come…and more HTML5 simulations coming soon, too!
