About Vonk

See it happen, understand why.

Vonk is an app to truly understand science, from year 5 to the middle of secondary school, for pupils, parents who want to help and teachers.

Why Vonk

Science is not a list to learn by heart but a way of looking. When you get stuck you usually miss a picture or an experiment, not talent. Vonk starts from what you see happen and works from there to the explanation.

Four blocks, always in the same order

Why, See it, Get it, Do it. Then the misconceptions, where you meet it in real life, a safe experiment for home and a piece of history. Every topic shows what to know first and what comes next.

Exercises that never run out

Calculation exercises are made by a generator: new numbers every time, with the right answer, a hint and a worked solution. For the rest, a code picks from large sets of questions to choose, order and match. Thousands of exercises per topic are tested automatically.

Who makes Vonk

Vonk is made by Neal Van de Velde (nealvdv), who also made Draad, Ruit and Spoor. Questions, mistakes or ideas are always welcome.

Calm and private

No ads, no tracking, no required account, no streaks or notifications that make you feel guilty. What you can do is kept on your own device only.

What does Draft mean?

A topic labelled Draft is carefully written but not yet checked by a science teacher. The label disappears after that check. If you spot a mistake, let us know.

Draft: Not yet checked by a science teacher.0/16of the 16 topics have been checked. The check by teachers is under way.

Vonk and Kaft

Vonk is part of Kaft, a family of learning apps with one app per subject. Part of Vonk is free, for the rest we ask a fair price. That keeps Vonk free of ads and tracking.

What does Vonk cost?

The learning path and the first 3 topics are free. For all of Vonk, you choose one of these plans:

  • All of Vonk€4 a month · €36 a year
  • Kaft bundle, all apps€8 a month · €69 a year

There is also a family plan, a school plan and a free social rate.

You sign in and pay on Kaft. After that, one click opens every topic here.

The Kaft family

Each app has its own subject and its own look, with the same way of working: understanding over cramming, calm and without ads.

Where we come from

Vonk is made from a Christian conviction: the world is worth looking at with wonder, and every child is valuable. The content itself is ordinary, honest science. Where faith and science meet, we are honest and respectful, without inventing conflict.

Spotted a mistake?

A few words are enough. We will check and fix it.
