What makes us different

We don't simplify science — we make it spectacular.

🧪

Real Science, Not Simplification

Built by an engineer with three STEM degrees. Every visualization is physically accurate — electron clouds represent real probability distributions, crystal lattices match real structures, circuits obey Ohm's law.

Cinematic Visuals

Bloom-lit electrons, glowing orbital trails, interactive 3D environments. We compete with TikTok for your kid's attention — and we win by making real science look like science fiction.

Infinite Content

Piano Surge generates music algorithmically. No fixed song library — practice content that grows with the student, adapting to their exact skill level in real time.

📊

Built for Learning

Sequential curriculum, comprehension checks, daily challenges, and progress tracking. Parents see real results — not just screen time.

Craig Thompson — Founder

Learn Orbital is founded by Craig Thompson, a STEM engineer turned education developer. With a B.S. in Chemical & Biomedical Engineering, an M.S. in Biomedical Engineering, and an M.S. in Industrial Engineering, Craig brings deep scientific expertise to every lesson and interaction.

Every atom is accurate. Every molecule is correct. Every circuit obeys the laws of physics.

Our mission: make the invisible world of science visible, interactive, and unforgettable.

Education you can trust

Orbital Academy is designed for Florida PEP scholarship families. Our Intro to Chemistry course covers atoms, the periodic table, chemical bonds, reactions, and electricity — preparing your student for high school chemistry and beyond.

Every lesson follows a structured curriculum built by an engineer who has lived this science for over a decade. Your student won't just memorize facts — they'll see how atoms actually behave, build molecules with their own hands, and understand the forces that hold the world together.

Credential: B.S. Chemical & Biomedical Engineering
