This is an applied project where your students will choose from three different project options, then use the design thinking process to create an augmented reality app that solves their user’s problem. In Lesson 1, each student will read all three project overviews. Then, they will choose the project they want to work on for the remaining lessons in the project! Note: the activity in this lesson requires your class to have access to a paid “Pro CoSpaces EDU” account.

Technology required for this lesson: Augmented Reality, Laptop/Desktop, Smartphone, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will learn more about their user and complete the first two steps in the Design Thinking process: Empathize and Define. Note: Students should only work on the material that corresponds to their project choice. For example: if a student chose Project 2A, they would only work on the Project 2A content.

This lesson should take 2-3 class periods, or about 100-150 minutes to complete. In this lesson, students will use CoSpaces and the Merge Cube add on to create two prototype of their AR App: a free version, and a premium version. Note: Students should only work on the content that corresponds to their project choice. For example: if a student chose Project 2A, they would only work on the Project 2A content.

Technology required for this lesson: Augmented Reality, Laptop/Desktop, Smartphone, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will finalize their AR projects, create a poster/advertisement for their project, share their project with their peers, give/receive feedback on each other’s projects, submit their designs, and answer a series of reflection questions. Note: the content for 2A, 2B, and 2C are almost identical in this section. This is a great chance for students to teach each other about their specific project choice and user!
