Agents of Discovery is an educational mobile gaming platform that uses augmented reality to get youth active outdoors. They empower educators in all sectors to turn the whole world into an engaging, fun, and safe learning environment. Educators use their online platform, the Mission Maker, to design their own games. These games (Missions) are then published to the Agents of Discovery app and available from the App and Play stores. Missions are free to play and, once downloaded, do not require WiFi or a data connection. Learn more at www.agentsofdiscovery.com.
