Description
This project will fully develop NEWTON-AR, an augmented reality (AR) application-based engineering, computer science, and STEM puzzle game for children in kindergarten to grade three. Intended for use in classrooms, after-school programs, and at home, NEWTON-AR will combine AR, engineering, simulation, making, and programming into a sandbox game where students create, modify, simulate, prototype, and test contraptions to solve puzzle challenges. With each challenge many of the components have kit elements that can be fabricated and combined with virtual simulations in mixed-reality design and testing activities. NEWTON-AR will also include supporting curricular materials for teachers, student workbooks, and online media resources.
