## What it is
A curated awesome-list of explorable explanations: interactive, web-based resources that let readers actively manipulate variables to understand concepts in math, science, algorithms, and more. It follows Bret Victor's vision of reactive documents and active reading.

## Use cases
- find interactive explanations for learning math concepts
- discover interactive visualizations of algorithms and neural networks
- locate hands-on simulations for teaching statistics and probability
- explore interactive essays on science and physics topics
- find tools for building explorable explanations
- curate interactive learning resources for a course

## When to choose
- you want a curated index of interactive educational content
- you prefer learning by manipulating variables rather than reading static text
- you are an educator looking for engaging visual teaching materials
- you research the field of explorable explanations and reactive documents

## When to avoid
- you need a software library or tool rather than a list of links
- you want non-interactive, traditional tutorials or documentation
- you need content in a specific language or for a specific framework

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, documentation
- domain: education, awesome-lists, data-visualization, mathematics
- platform: -
- tags: awesome-list, explorable-explanations, interactive-learning, curated-list, reactive-documents, web-server
