When a couple of teachers attended The National Science Convention, they ran across Kognity and brought it back and said, "this is what we've been looking for." They really liked the fact that it was very interactive, that it was already [NGSS]-aligned, had the phenomena, and all of the three-dimensional things that we already do, but it was in one resource. It's something tangible that they can work with and modify as they want.

We chose Kognity because of their commitment and understanding of our education needs, the platform’s innovative and comprehensive resources and their exceptional teacher training and customer support. The teachers who utilized Kognity’s resources saw an improvement in student engagement, understanding, and assessments.

Kognity is teacher friendly but more importantly it builds better outcomes and better experiences for students.

Kognity is an open framework, so if you have an experienced team of educators, there’s plenty of space to add your own flair. But, for our new, young educators, it’s a complete program for them which helps them to succeed.

Marcos Cabreros

Chemistry Teacher, Edison High School, California

There's a lot in the Kognity lessons. The standards are in there, there's various assignments, printable 3D models, which is great, and pretty much every standard at every angle, and it's visually easy to look at.
