The mission of Arcytech is to develop tools and applications that can be directly used in schools and at home to improve education. The two main areas being addressed are: School Logistics and Problem Solving Java Applets. The following section give more details on each of these.

School Logistics -- This group of applications are tools that help teachers run the class, organize homework and projects, improve communication between school and home, and allow online student discussions. You can visit the applications page to see the tools presently in use.

Problem Solving Java Applets -- The objectives of the applets are:

1. There should be a problem to be solved -- students need to acquire knowledge, through a discovery process, to be able to solve the stated problems
2. The problems should motivate the students -- Students should feel rewarded by solving the problems
3. The topic of the applet should be of interest to the students. Something they can relate to and something that can be part of the curriculum

You can visit the main java applets page to view the applets that have been developed so far and also the java site description for more details on the motivation behind the Problem Solving Java Applets.
