FAQ
Can I hold a lesson if I don't have a classroom projector?
Yes, of course. It's enough to just use our comprehensive teacher's manual.
Can I use these materials to teach high school students?
The assignments are designed for the secondary school level, but you can use them to conduct lessons for high schoolers as well.
Is it possible to choose and conduct only one of the three lessons?
It's up to you whether you want to conduct all lessons or only some of them.
The three classes complement each other, but are comprehensive on their own.

I want to help! Can I join your team?
Of course! We work on a pro bono basis. If you are an educational specialist, designer, operator, a platform or game developer, we can think of ways to develop the project further with your help. Our plans include creating a course, a game and our own platform. All of this can only be possible with your help
