June 11, 2026: This is Brilliant!

 

Review 

Have you heard of Brilliant? I highly recommend it!

I've really enjoyed using Brilliant because it makes learning STEM subjects like mathematics, computer science, and coding feel approachable, engaging, and genuinely fun. 

One of the things I appreciate most is the clear, interactive visuals to explain concepts that can otherwise feel confusing or overwhelming. Instead of simply presenting formulas and definitions, Brilliant helps you literally see what those formulas and codes entail and why things work the way they do. 

The lessons are also well scaffolded. They are intuitive and guide you through topics and levels step by step. The content is structured like a path with "stepstones" leading to a specific goal. Each step stone builds on the previous one and is introduced through questions, which encourage you to think about the problem first. If you are "wrong", you have the chance to retry or to get help. It also explains topics in simple language and offers clear, easy-to-understand insights, helping you stay motivated and gain confidence as you learn from your mistakes. There are "reviews" at the beginning and "checks" at the end, too, which help consolidate the concepts. Moreover, whenever you are successful, you earn experience points and can see yourself go up on the "board". Yay!

Try it out! The combination of clear visuals, intuitive lessons, and engaging problem-solving makes it a fantastic resource for learning STEM and for getting inspired to design cool lessons!
