Agents of Discovery COVID-19 Update
Dear Fellow Agents,
The Agents of Discovery team extends our best wishes for your wellness in this uncertain and challenging time. The way we interact with each other is changing as we isolate and continue to practice necessary social distancing.
We all need to be taking care of ourselves. Exercise, sunlight, and the outdoors have been shown to help with emotional, mental, and physical well-being. This is why many leaders and top medical professionals are encouraging people to go outside while practicing safe social distancing. Agents of Discovery gets you outside moving, playing and learning. Our platform is designed to be played on your personal device while allowing you and your family to maintain social distancing protocols.
We know that parents and educators are looking for ways to continue engaging their communities in safe and creative ways. In response, here are some timely resources we are providing…
For Educators: Our Challenge Library has thousands of Challenges to help you create your Missions. It includes a new collection dedicated to COVID-19/Viruses that educators are finding particularly helpful – we encourage you to check it out.
To help with the safety of our customers, we have dedicated a special area of our website where you can purchase your own PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).
For Parents: Can’t access a park? Every Monday there is a new Mission for your kids to enjoy in your backyard, in your house, or in an open park.
Free Conservation Education Missions every Monday
In cooperation with Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium and the USDA Forest Service, we have launched a campaign called Mission Conservation. Mission Conservation will provide you access to Image Recognition (IR) Missions that you can share with your community. New Missions are launching every Monday (“Mission Monday”). Details can be seen here.
Agents of Discovery empowers educators to transform the whole world
into an engaging, active, and safe learning environment.
