MATHLETES have always been welcome in the world of coding, but there’s room for artists and dreamers too!

Atomec Studios is a teacher-led content creation and education team that’s taking the intimidation factor out of technology education with lessons that emphasize fun and creativity over algorithms. Our video tutorials and in-person workshops have inspired kids all over the world to try their hand at making video games, creating art and telling stories using free and simple technology tools. 

We believe that kids learn best when they’re set free to follow their own ambition and imagination instead of following somebody else’s curriculum. It’s a goal that’s been aided tremendously by the growth of powerful, kid-friendly software like MIT’s Scratch that simplify the once arcane world of game design, animation, storytelling, music composition and digital art. 

We practice what we preach, using kid-friendly art tools to draw and animate every episode of our successful YouTube video tutorial series, and pulling back the curtain to teach kids how we did it. More than half a million viewers around the world have already watched our addictive educational videos, which use cartoon characters to demystify concepts in computer game design, animation, digital art and much more.

Now based in Brigus, Newfoundland, Atomec studios is led by Andrew Tomec, a veteran technology educator who has been teaching and creating with computers since the earliest days of PCs in the 1980s. He’s joined by his wife, digital artist and animator Lynne Anderson, who’s helped put the A into STEAM with her popular digital art tutorials.
