Studies show that interactive problem solving is more effective than lectures. Brilliant will let your students explore and challenge them to think outside the box.
Brilliant creates a culture of learning around inquiry, curiosity, and openness to failure. Solve fascinating, challenging problems and sometimes fail trying.

Brilliant for Educators allows you and your students to access up to 3 courses for free, in addition to access to classroom resources and Daily Challenges. You can add, remove, and change courses around as much as you’d like throughout the year. We also want to make sure your and your students’ subscriptions are being used regularly, so we’ll be checking in from time to time.
You can create up to 5 classes for your enrolled students, with up to 50 students in each class. Each class can have different courses, and students can be in multiple classes.
While we have relevant content across most levels and topics in math, science, and computer science, Brilliant courses don’t align perfectly with any standardized curriculum or learning standards. We are focused on leading students to do, understand, and be captivated and inspired by STEM, rather than teaching to a particular test. You can view all of our courses here and click “Read more” on any course page to see all of the topics covered.
You’ll be able to see if your students have started, finished, or are still working on each quiz in your assigned courses, as well as when every student last logged in. We do not yet offer any additional assignment or gradebook features.
We do not share, sell, or otherwise disclose any personal information of Brilliant for Educators students. Brilliant relies on the teacher/school to obtain formal consent from students and their parents/guardians to participate in Brilliant for Educators. Teachers must agree to the Brilliant for Educators Terms of Use and Privacy Policy before creating a classroom.
