What is seeplore?

seeplore (see + explore) is an educational web documentary series that explains how science and history work. You step through scenes on a map or in 3D, and each scene shows, in a few short sentences and with voice narration, what happens and why. The series started in Korean (22 titles); 7 are in English so far, and more are being translated — text, app and narration.

Who is it for?

It is written so a middle-school student can watch it alone and understand it. Hard terms are put into plain words and compared with everyday things like exams, cooking and chores. Students use it to study on their own, teachers put it on the classroom screen, and adults use it to check how something works in a few minutes.

How is it made?

• Each title follows one axis. Time, distance, depth or speed — every scene is one point on that axis (Korean history follows the years, the ocean follows depth, black holes follow how much a clock slows down).
• Watch and listen together. Step through the scenes yourself, or turn on documentary mode and the view moves along with the narration.
• Numbers are calculated or sourced. Things like the air around a wing or a small AI learning are actually computed where possible; statistics and astronomical figures come from official sources with their reference dates.
• Free, no sign-up. It opens straight in the browser, on phones too.
