AGENTS OF DISCOVERY (AOD) What is AOD? Agents of Discovery is an interactive app that allows you to learn more about the park(s) that we are in. Each site has a mission and within the mission are challenges that will teach you about the history of the park, what type of animals, trees and insects there are and other fun information! The Agents of Discovery team is hosting a Bay Area campaign that Emma Prusch and Almaden Lake are a part of. The campaign is to promote the missions that are within the Bay Area. The more missions that people play, the more likely they are to receive prizes like BART passes, HHPZ tickets, and tickets to the Oakland and SF Zoo.
