Teachers: Beta Test Biodiversity Science App 3rd-8th Grade Students

Help Shape a New Biodiversity Learning Tool Through Outdoor Classroom Testing

Accelerator Media is a nonprofit educational media organization seeking teachers, educators, and homeschool parents to help test Insectopia Explorer, a new mobile learning experience for students in grades 3 through 8.

Insectopia Explorer uses computer vision image identification and an LLM-powered AI to help children photograph, identify, and learn about insects and arthropods in their environment. The app is guided by Lumen, an AI firefly companion who introduces students to Insectopia, a hidden world that exists all around us, where bugs live and work to keep our planet in balance.

We are looking for a small group of education partners to try the working prototype, share feedback, and help us improve the experience before broader development. This is a chance to bring a new kind of science activity into your classroom or learning group and to have a direct hand in shaping how it evolves.

To participate, you should work with children in the 3rd through 8th grade range who have access to a smartphone or tablet with a camera and internet connection. No special technical knowledge is required.

If you are interested, submit interest directly through Idealist or send a brief note to (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).
