The Official Quest Atlantis Blog
The mathematics mission Crypto Coordinates: Plotting Adventure! was first released last fall, and updated slightly in early June. Both versions of Crypto teach coordinate plotting through the context of archeology and navigation of a magical island. During implementations of Crypto, researchers observed students expressing their own beliefs when playing the game.
Here at Quest Atlantis, progress runs two ways. On the one hand, we constantly look forward, designing and prototyping new ideas on a daily basis. Simultaneously, we’re also mindful of the work we’ve already done and the ways that it can be improved, often based on the feedback and experience of thousands of Questers who [...]
Genetics is often touted as a complicated subject for most students. This is in part due to the fact that students are expected to understand the broad range of concepts over the span of one year. Firm in the belief that elementary students (specifically fourth graders and above) are capable of learning genetic concepts, the [...]

Often times, ethical teaching and thinking are reduced to a specialized form of rhetoric where one is required to “consider” all sides and make a recommendation [...]
Come share your ideas on a Student Congress. An idea had been mulling for some months now about creating a world in Quest Atlantis where students can take up ownership, leadership and have opportunities to share their lifeworld experiences in the QA social commitments. The first formal meeting of our steering group happened this week [...]
Cartography, coordinate plotting, and the ethical tensions of archeology combine in our new math mission in Quest Atlantis. Questers receive a message in a bottle, calling for help. Furious at having a team of archeologists investigate its secrets, the island takes revenge by trapping the director of the dig, Dr. Leo. With an assistant too [...]
