In 2013, Thomas O'Donahoo and Robert Barakat founded Atomi with one ambitious goal: to create the learning platform that students actually love. What started as a university-side project has evolved into a video-first edtech platform that's transforming how high school students learn across Australia and beyond. The founders recognised that traditional educational content wasn't engaging today's learners - so they built something different.
Today, Atomi serves over 1 million students and teachers with curriculum-aligned videos, interactive quizzes, and AI-powered personalised feedback. The platform combines the latest research in pedagogy and neuroscience with creative, human-centered design to turn complex ideas into simple, engaging experiences. From a single resource provider to a comprehensive platform used by schools nationwide, Atomi has grown while staying true to its mission: making education accessible, engaging, and effective for every learner. The company continues to innovate with features like instant AI feedback and smart revision recommendations, helping students build confidence and achieve their full potential.
