Potential Plus UK have just launched
an awesome new website!
i-Explore is a site developed and run by Potential Plus
UK which aims to enthuse, educate and entertain
children and young people who have enquiring minds.
i-Explore is a hub of websites, videos, PDFs, e-books,
courses, apps, games and much, much more from all
over the web; Here in one place to help you kick-start
your learning, find your passion and investigate issues
from home! The aim is to make you think, satisfy your
need for knowledge and broaden your learning with
extra-curricular, engaging, interactive and exciting
activities.
There are three main sections to i-Explore – SPARK,
FUSE and IGNIS. They each represent a different level
of difficulty. However, we understand that everyone
is good at different things and has different interests,
and so feel free to delve and dig between them as
you please. The very rough guidelines are that SPARK is
for the under-5s, FUSE is for those between 5-12 years
and IGNIS is most appropriate for young people aged
12+ years – but cross between them as you please!
Each of these larger sections is split into subject
areas – iScience, iMaths, iArts, iWords, iTech, iWorld
and iMatter. These sections group similar resources
together, to make them easier to find.
Please note - i-Explore is full of links to external sites,
so please be wary when leaving i-Explore, as, much as
we’ve tried to make sure these links are appropriate,
Potential Plus UK cannot take responsibility for the
content of external sites. Please have your parent or
carer visit our page on Parental Guidance, and also
read our External Linking Policy – these are available
at the bottom of every page.
