You get the best of both worlds: proven content that has educated millions of science students that has been brought forward into the latest pedagogy.

Built on Paul Hewitt's Legacy

Paul Hewitt revolutionized teaching physics by making it more accessible and engaging.

Over the years the company has grown, but one thing has stayed the same - teachers are still at the front of the creation process. For almost a decade, we’ve been supporting teachers as they put their students back in charge of the learning process.
