spARk, 2018
spARk is an augmented reality STEM learning experience that encourages learning systems through hands-on explorations. This builds upon similar prior projects like Math Heroes, which uses mental models as a tool for understanding complex abstract phenomena.
Across a period of 3 months, spARk was part of the NYC Media Lab’s first XR Startup Bootcamp and developed through the Lean Startup method, interviewing and testing with 100 stakeholders in all: students, parents, teachers, educational researchers, investors. A sample lesson on photosynthesis was co-developed with a middle school biology teacher, and tested with several students in his class.
It was exhibited at NYVR Expo, presented at Exploring Future Reality 2018 event, and featured on EdSurge.
