Schools

Agents Academy is our platform for schools. It equips public school, private school, and homeschool educators with tools to bring content to life through gamification and 3D augmented reality. The platform prioritizes creative, active lessons and a dashboard to instantly and accurately track learner progress. Through access to thousands of pre-made Challenges in the Challenge Library (including our Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Thinking Competencies collections), it’s easy to create Missions. Students can play at home or at school using the Agents of Discovery app, which is available for free on the Google Play Store or App Store and works on most smartphones and tablets (including Chromebooks).

 

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)

The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is a framework created to help students thoroughly understand core scientific theory, understand the scientific process of establishing and testing ideas, and gain a greater understanding of evaluating scientific evidence. This framework creates internationally benchmarked standards for science education. The NGSS collection is available in the Challenge Library and gives you over 1,000 ready-to-go Challenges aligned with NGSS developed by a team of renowned scientists and science educators.These standards describe achievement expectations for students in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Build your Mission to meet learning goals in Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Earth and Space Sciences by searching and dropping the Challenges onto your own Mission site!

Thinking Competencies

Agents Academy provides students with opportunities to engage in and develop competency in critical thinking and problem-solving, creative thinking and innovation, as well as collaborative teamwork and leadership. Based on the goals identified by most public and private education authorities across North America and around the world, Agents Academy has embedded good thinking skills into the ready-made Challenges offered in the Challenge Library. When educators focus on the development of good thinking competence, educational authorities assert that students are more likely to understand and be able to apply knowledge and concepts, while also improving attitudes towards learning and student engagement.

As a member of the Agents Academy, you’ll have access to a wide array of curricularly aligned content in subjects such as Technology (Robotics, Computer Coding), Math (K-9), Science (K-9), ELA, Wildlife, History, and many more. Educators can be confident the content they are using is accurate and aligns to their lessons.

Creating a healthy competition amongst students to not only play the game but create the Challenges and put them into the Missions kept students engaged for weeks. Utilizing the game aspects, along with outdoor and active learning was a great way to engage students and others who tried out our Missions.

Agents of Discovery has brought the children’s learning to life. We have used the App to create a historic trail for the local community to use. Creating the game has kept the children focused and engaged on their learning – finding out facts and generating questions in a fun and interactive way. I would thoroughly recommend using the Agents of Discovery App – it is simple to use, imaginative and inspiring.

It’s been an amazing experience watching my students get excited about the curriculum and become experts. Game-based learning is incredibly effective, and I’m glad we are using it as another one of our tools to educate kids.

One of the things I’ve really noticed is the sheer engagement of peoples when they are using the platform. They’re so excited to be outdoors, using technology to support their learning. What’s really good is how teachers can make bespoke questions to fit in with their particular learning environment or the topic that they’re trying to reinforce. It’s very versatile and the children have absolutely loved using the platform.
