educative solutions for the 21 st century, founded by a
group of students and professionals from different
countries, culture mainly Europe, brazil, India, at the
beginning
AToOmega wants to be an instrument to change and
improve science and technologic teaching/ learning
process
AToOmega wants to be an instrument of making
education accessible to anywhere around the world,
nowadays possible through new technologies and web
environments
3. Motivation and present problems
Two Basic related problems
There is a lack of students in science in High school
and University and all around the world (Europe, …)
Need to improve science teaching/learning processes.
Teachers don’t know and/ or don’t teach applying results
from science education
Exam oriented Education system : which hurts the motive
of learning, and make it pressure rather than fun.
There is a lack of technologic skills in companies so
they need to improve training through externalising
this training service
4. What is AToOmega

is to create an online organisation to develop
educative innovations in a broad sense:
To offer didactical materials about teaching-learning
sciences, online and offline, consulting in education
strategies, consulting in new technologies of
comunication and information, web environnments
and designing customized services
To a lot of topics of interests
To a lot of segments of customers: individuals and
companies
5. What we offer
