The Cores

BLUE WHALE LEARNING’S MULTI FACETED ENRICHMENT CORES consist of curated and cross-referenced content Mods. Each self-contained module includes Lessons with subtopics, self-guided optional quizzes, games and additional resources for further exploration. New Mods are added continuously all year, and accessible to each student.

Our programming is centered around Cores that feature not only science and tech, but also, exploration, archeology, geology, ancient civilizations, culture and more. Each core is curated to coordinate with at least one other core, and content is created and focused through the lens of mankind’s interaction with, effect on, or consequential evolution from, the central idea in each module.

All Mods are cross-coordinated within their own Core as well as others, and to make the experience even more engaging, we’ve added Badges and gamification to the mix to let students earn recognition when they’ve completed Mods.

Have a browse through the Cores below, and then pop over to our Contact Page to let us know if you’re interested in making Blue Whale Learning a part of your class or school resources. We work exclusively with The DaVinci Foundation for Innovative Education to make the program available to students at no cost to them or their schools and would love to hear from you if your students or school are in need.
