Biology
Go outside and fill your own field guide!
BrainBite Explorers brings biology outside. Your child tracks down an animal or plant, takes a photo, guesses what it is and fills their own field guide with real finds.
In development. A launch date has not been confirmed.
Your AI mentor
Charles Darwin
Naturalist, 1809 to 1882
Darwin goes out with your child. He asks what they have found, cheers a good guess, and points out one thing to look at more closely.
An AI character inspired by Charles Darwin, not the real person.

How a find works
Out exploring with Charles Darwin
- 1
Pick a card
Choose an animal or plant to find today, like a ladybird or a daisy.
- 2
Go and look
Head outside and find it. Near water or on a farm, a grown-up comes along.
- 3
Take a photo
Photograph your find. The app checks it is an animal or plant, not a person.
- 4
What is it?
Choose the matching picture. Your photo fills in that page of your field guide.
