Dynamic and Interactive Augmented Reality in Biology for Hands-On, Group Science Learning

NCER
Program: Small Business Innovation Research
Award amount: $199,788
Project director: Adam Becker
Awardee:
Innovation Design Labs
Year: 2019
Award period: 8 months (06/24/2019 - 02/23/2020)
Project type:
Phase I Development
Contract number: 91990019C0026

Purpose

In this project, the team will develop a prototype of an augmented reality product for high school biology topics focusing on cellular and molecular functions. Students will be able to manipulate models and view cell processes in an engaging and informative series of hands-on group-learning lesson modules. At the end of Phase I, in a pilot study with 10 high school biology teachers and 100 high school students, the researchers will examine whether the prototype and newly developed components function as planned and show potential for improving student life-science skills and interests.
