ATOMIC
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR EDUCATION AND PUBLISHING
We help our partners build the most effective, highest-quality digital applications for students, teachers, and readers.
We work for education leaders and ed-tech startups, non-profits with ambitions for scale, the largest media companies in the world, and small publishers with big ideas.
Since 1999, Atomic has built some of the most important platforms and applications in the industry. Here are a few favorites.
The Atomic engineering approach delivers better products at a lower total cost of development.
Start from Content
We believe that the most effective products for reading, teaching, and learning start from an understanding of what people want to learn, teach, or communicate. We build with content as part of our stack from the beginning.
Focus on Users
Our mission is to achieve your goals for the users. As the engineers on your team, our work is to understand those goals, so that we can plan, build, and test for the ways real people will use your product in the classroom, at home, and anywhere in between.
Build with Transparency
Our team knows that successful product development is the result of clear communication about the purpose, reasons, and expected outcomes of our work. We succeed best when you can see our progress.
We help partners make technology choices that are strategic and human-centered because we understand the goals.
