Expedition Atlantis intentionally removes the notion of programming allowing kids to

focus on learning mathematical strategies without having to worry about the nuances

of programming. Expedition Atlantis’ rewards students for mathematical solutions, and

if the teacher uses the tools provided in its teacher guide, is designed to generalize

students’ proportional reasoning skills by the end of the game.

It’s the year 2023 and Atlantis has been discovered deep in the ocean, off of the coast

of Africa. A team of elite scientists and engineers have been sent to investigate the

underwater ruins, and you’re one of them! Use your skills to to maneuver the teams

underwater vehicles in this expedition to Atlantis!

Expedition Atlantis presents mobile robot math problems in a highly scaffolded and

contextualized manner. The game uses a mythical legend, underwater robotics

exploration, and a game-like quest to motivate students to use math rather than “guess

and check” their way through robot programming. The game is designed so that

students learn to play the game in the game and includes ingame tutorials.
