Description

This engaging course invites secondary school students to explore the wonders of the universe through the lens of virtual and augmented reality. Using the CoSpaces platform, students will learn the fundamentals of designing immersive AR environments and interactive 3D models. From creating their own futuristic utopia to building and animating a fully programmable solar system, learners will gain hands-on experience that blends science, coding, and digital creativity. The course culminates in a final challenge where students produce an AR-enhanced model of Saturn, applying all the skills they’ve acquired. With a focus on design thinking and storytelling, this class not only deepens scientific understanding but also enhances computational thinking and spatial reasoning. Students are encouraged to bring their own tablets or laptops, while schools may provide hardware support if needed. This is an ideal program for tech-curious learners eager to connect science, art, and technology in a meaningful way.
