What do you do with Happy Atoms?
BuildBuild thousands of molecules from plastic atom models that connect easily using magnets. Experiment on your own by snapping together atoms to form molecules, or follow detailed step-by-step instructions for 150 molecules. Because the physical atom models already have the correct number of free electrons and empty bonding sites, it is difficult to build a molecule that doesn’t actually exist! |
DiscoverDiscover what molecules you’ve built! Using the included Happy Atoms app and the camera on your tablet or smartphone (sold separately), you can scan your creation. The app then identifies the molecule using state-of-the-art image recognition technology. For 150 of the molecules you can build with the Complete Set, the app provides detailed information about them, including their composition, usage, properties, the breakdown of their chemical name, any hazards the molecules could pose, how the molecules are used in the real world, and much more. The app will also provide basic information about the thousands of other molecules you can build with the 50-atom set. |
ExploreExplore the molecules you discover, assemble collections of them, and complete guided chemistry tasks in the app. All 150 molecules are organized into the World of Molecules, a map organized by the type of atoms that are in the molecule. For example, if the molecule has sulfur in it, you will likely find it on the Sulfur Shores. If you build a special, uncharted molecule, you’ll find it in the Frontier. There are all sorts of molecules waiting to be discovered! |
Product Features
The Physical AtomsThe atom models in the set are made of plastic spheres that connect using magnets: metal tips on the end of rubbery arms (clear for ionic bonds, white for covalent bonds) represent the free electron(s) from that atom, making electrons simpler for kids to quickly visualize. Flat magnet sites on the atoms represent how many electrons that atom can receive. The magnet system provides a clear picture of how bonding works: energy is released to form bonds, and energy is required to break bonds. Kids experience the ease of connecting atoms (forming bonds) and the effort of disconnecting atoms (breaking bonds) with the magnetic connectors. The atoms vary in size depending on atomic mass, while the flexibility of the rubbery arms demonstrate that bonds are not rigid. Each atom has its element’s symbol printed on it, and the physical models in Happy Atoms enable kids to visualize single, double, and triple bonds—something you can’t do without the use of small parts in the ball-and-stick modeling system! |
The AppThe Happy Atoms app takes this molecular modeling system to the next level. The app uses the camera in your smartphone or tablet (sold separately) to scan the molecule you’ve created and analyzes it based on each individual atom’s size, shape, and markings, as well as each atom’s relative position to one another, to determine the identity of the molecule. After the molecule is discovered, the app presents information about it, including its composition, systematic name, usage, properties, structure, and more. The app can recognize up to 10,000 molecules and presents in-depth information about 150 molecules and general information about the rest. The World of Molecules map stores your discoveries as you chart your own personal chemical expedition! This digital platform provides a gamified learning environment for kids to study chemistry and promotes independent play and learning; Harper and Andee, characters within the app, accompany and guide kids on their chemistry adventure, offering encouragement and asking for help with their research. The Happy Atoms app requires a tablet or smartphone running iOS 8 (or later) or Android 4.4 (or later, with 1GB RAM, dual-core processor, and camera), not included. |
What's InsideHappy Atoms: Complete Set comes with 50 atom models that represent 16 different elements: 14 Hydrogen atoms, 1 Helium atom, 2 Lithium atoms, 2 Beryllium atoms, 6 Carbon atoms, 3 Nitrogen atoms, 6 Oxygen atoms, 2 Fluorine atoms, 1 Neon atom, 2 Sodium atoms, 2 Magnesium atoms, 2 Silicon atoms, 2 Phosphorus atoms, 2 Sulfur atoms, 2 Chlorine atoms, and 1 Argon atom. The 16 elements represented in this kit are the most common and important atoms for a student to learn about when they are building the groundwork for their study of chemistry. The set also comes with the Happy Atoms app (free to download on the App Store, from Google Play, or in the Kindle Store), a periodic table poster that doubles as a scanning mat, and a white drawstring bag for easy clean-up and storage. The included Quickstart Guide gets kids using Happy Atoms right away, offering up some initial experiments and guidance to familiarize them with the Happy Atoms system. |

Happy Atoms is a molecular modeling system that bridges the analog and digital worlds. You can assemble your own molecular models using a set of 50 atoms representing 16 different elements. Then, the included app uses state-of-the-art vision algorithms to recognize the molecules you've created and provide information about them. The app takes you on guided quests to discover new molecules and tracks your progress, collecting sets of molecules that you've built and explored.
Thames & Kosmos
Thames & Kosmos was founded in 2001 with the mission of improving informal science education outside of the classroom by publishing high-quality science kits for children of all ages. T&K's mission has since expanded from its STEM roots to encompass other educational branches as well, including arts and crafts and the panoply of thinking and social skills that can be taught through games and magic. T&K places an emphasis on teaching concepts and skills through tactile processes. Our vision is to give all children access to real, physical activities and projects that teach them how things work.
Schell Games
Schell Games is a full-service game design and development company, which specializes in creating transformational games and innovative, interactive experiences. Founded in 2002 by world-class game designer and esteemed author Jesse Schell, we are one of the largest independent game studios in the country. The company crafts transformational games, or games that change people for the better. Not only do our games educate players and advocate for change, but they are fun! Our team of highly talented artists, programmers, producers, and game designers is adept at creating these transformative experiences for some of the world’s most respected companies. Projects in our vast portfolio include mobile, VR/AR, PC, online, console, hand-held, casual, and social games; interactive installations and theme park attractions; and connected toys and virtual worlds.
Happy Atoms is funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Education Science, U.S. Department of Education. Classroom viability and student learning outcome strategies have been and continue to be conducted by WestEd.
