The Adventure Academy app can be installed on library computers to provide students with educational content in reading, math, science, and more. This guide walks you through the system requirements, download process, and installation steps to ensure a smooth setup. It also includes troubleshooting tips for common installation issues. Whether you're a librarian or IT administrator, follow these instructions to make Adventure Academy accessible on your library's computers.
Rest assured, downloading the Adventure Academy app is a quick and easy process, and it offers several benefits to a browser experience, including:
- A completely safe and secure environment for children, as there are no other browser links present that might lead children away from the program to other websites
- A convenient link right on your desktop that will open Adventure Academy with just one click
- Faster loading speeds throughout the product, as many assets are already pre-downloaded within the application
It’s important to note that once the app is downloaded onto a computer you can easily access it from that point forward with a quick click of a button. If your library is also offering Adventure Academy Home Access, patrons can also use these steps to easily download the app to use on their personal computer(s).
