Design the new AL and win a netbook!

Since our beginnings in 2000, Atomic Learning has had a ‘mascot’ named AL, giving a face to the company and helping to create a partner relationship with our customers. As he is today though, AL does not represent who we are at Atomic Learning nor does he represent the diversity of our customers. Therefore, Atomic Learning invites you to participate in a contest to design the new AL.
