Class Dismissed

Nuclear Weapons Awareness Campaign

Class Dismissed is an augmented reality experience envisioned by Amplifier in partnership with Up In Arms, with design and build created in collaboration with EyeJack. Point a phone at a desk, a hallway, a library or a football field, and place full-scale US nuclear weapons components inside the spaces where children learn - alongside the real cost trade-offs of building each one.
