activATAR

High school isn't easy... yet. activATAR is the solution to education's biggest problem: boredom. In a world designed to capture attention, study has to compete. That's why we're wrapping high-yeild syllabus-aligned notes and questions in the guise of a banana farming video game. Earn bananas by completing quizzes, buy upgrades, customise your character, start multiplayer battles, climb the leaderboard, earn achievements, and rank up - get your brain in the game. I wish I had this in high school. But at least we can help build it. 🙉
