Explore a sample sim and discover how it's constructed in the authoring tool.
Learn the basic functionality available to build experiential learning.
Experiment with AI-integrated features and functionality.

🤩 This "Getting Started" process is modeled after one of the segments in our Creator Onboarding Journey (Module 3). While we always encourage new users to participate in our guided onboarding program for comprehensive knowledge of the SimGate platform, this segment is perfect for those who prefer to get started independently!
