Special Interest
Terrawatch
Gamified citizen science where players contribute real data to scientific databases (iNaturalist, Globe Observer) while earning XP and completing curriculum-aligned quests.
Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.
#FFA726 TerraWatch is a gamified citizen science platform for ages 9-14 where students contribute to real scientific projects by collecting field observations with their device's built-in sensors, earning XP and badges while building authentic scientific skills used by professional researchers.
