Connecting kids to a changing world
ATENA transforms everyday events into learning opportunities. Our activities turn today’s news into learning experiences that help kids (10 to 12 years old) understand the world and strengthen their school knowledge.
Are you a teacher in upper elementary school looking to help your students progress through activities related to current events? The ADVENTURERS series is for you!
Are you a parent looking to nurture your child's curiosity (ages 10 to 12) while reinforcing concepts covered in class? The EXPLORERS series is for you and your children!
ATENA offers ready-to-use activities (for computers or tablets) that transform current events into learning opportunities.

A new and relevant way to learn!
The activities created by ATENA are based on current topics and aim to spark curiosity, to promote understanding of the world around us, and to make learning relevant.
Students are not passive: they interact, reflect, and make connections. The interface encourages initiative and builds self-confidence.
ATENA activities are easy to use! The teacher or parent sends the activity link to the child, who then completes the activity. No preparation necessary!
