When you think back to your days of taking math and science classes, do you have fond memories of captivating teachers or engaging lessons? If you were lucky enough to have the cool Algebra teacher, maybe — but most likely, you barely remember those lessons (and struggle when you have to apply those skills to your everyday life today). How about a do-over? Brilliant is a platform that helps you develop quantitative and analytical skills in a fun, challenging way. It's basically a way to re-learn all the problem-solving skills you missed in mathematics, science and computer science — in a way that's sure to stick.
Instead of lecture videos (which are pretty easy to zone out of), Brilliant uses hands-on, interactive lessons to help you better visualize and develop your intuition for more difficult concepts. It's also accessible for beginners, with lessons for everyone between the ages of 10 to 110 — you can choose to get started with the fundamentals or take more advanced courses meant to advance your professional skills and goals.
Thanks to the stress-free learning environment, you'll be able to truly absorb the material: Brilliant uses fun puzzles and guided storytelling to help you embrace mistakes as a form of playful learning. That's because Brilliance is founded on the idea of fostering curiosity as a means of driving education (as opposed to just passing a series of tests). There's a wide range of courses taught by award-winning teachers, researchers and professionals from MIT, Caltech, Duke, Microsoft, Google and more — you can take your pick from courses in software development, where you can learn computer science fundamentals, to engineering, foundational math, foundational logic and so much more.
At the end of the day, Brilliant is a way to help you learn in a low-pressure environment at your own pace. It even encourages a little bit of struggle, because it's a gateway to help you master STEM concepts to help you build a more complete understanding from the bottom up.
