Immersed Games
Creating a video game as a platform for empowering, deep learning experiences.
We help teachers engage their students in actively doing science, by providing a video game that empowers students to directly explore science phenomena and solve authentic problems. For example, students work with a botanist to solve a food shortage while learning about genetics. Tyto Online helps empower students as they experience what it's like to do science, build their science and engineering practices, and become scientifically literate citizens.

We're seeking (incoming) 6th grade playtesters for our new math storylines. They'll have a 90m 1:1 session via Google Meets (camera on for critical facial expressions!) with one of our team members, where they'll go through a storyline on statistics and discuss the learning. We use this to help make sure kids are getting the right learning out of it! We'll also send a $10 gift card afterwards, to a place of their choice.
Please DM us if you're interested, and we will send you a link to schedule.
Note: Due to curricula differences, this is only available for students based in the U.S.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! We are doing research to help us with an upcoming pilot program that will facilitate parental engagement in student learning.
Surveys have shown that parents want to engage with their kids about what they’re learning at school, but many don’t know where to start. We want to bridge that gap by reaching out directly and helping parents stay in the loop about…
- What your kids are learning in school (specifically with Tyto Online)
- How this science applies to future careers, as well as everyday life
- How to take advantage of relevant learning opportunities with your children when they’re not in the classroom
If you’re interested in participating in a “stakeholder interview,” schedule using this link!
User Interview - Caroline Lamarque We want to know… How do you think parental involvement can impact student learning and engagement? What are some challenges you have faced when trying to keep parents “in the loop”?
