Education Center
Atmosphir has been used to help teach students of all ages in a wide variety of subjects - from elementary science fair projects to University game design courses. Minor Studios strongly believes in the educational value of interactive games, and will continue to explore and support classroom activities involving Atmosphir. As the game evolves, we will be building out this section with lesson plans, video tutorials, success stories, .pdf worksheets and more. Please feel free to contact us if you need any support bringing Atmosphir into your classroom.
