Happy #WorldQuantumDay! Today, we celebrate the incredible potential of quantum science. The quantum workforce needs better education tools, as existing tools haven't kept pace. We are building them and invite you to join our community.
Whether you are an educator, researcher, or industry professional, you can help shape the roadmap for 2026-27.

24 years of free simulations for classrooms. That’s not changing. What is changing: our license is moving from CC BY to CC BY-NC, to help us ensure commercial users contribute to sustaining the PhET library you love. 🚀 Small update, big mission: https://bit.ly/small-change-big-mission

Experiment with one or two #pendulums, see how the length, weight, gravity, or angle affect the #period.
Learners will also observe the system's energy in real-time and discover the conservation of mechanical energy. https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/pendulum-lab/ #PeriodicMotion #iTeachPhysics

"If I teach, I need to be prepared. If I don’t study, what will I teach?"
Meet Yrma, a 30+ years educator from Peru who never stops learning! She uses PhET to create a "dynamic classroom" where students have more exploration possibilities

Can you give us a creative line, a "sim-pun," or a joke featuring one of our PhET sims? We’ll start with our favorite skater:

"I’m on a total emotional roller coaster, but at least my Total Energy remains constant!" 😎

PhET Interactive Simulations has just released a new course, Teaching #Electricity and #Magnetism with PhET Simulations.
You will explore PhET’s electricity & magnetism simulations, learn from model lessons, and design your own custom sim-based lesson plans. bit.ly/ElectricityMagnetism #teacherPD
