Successful Completion of the CARS Project Pilots in Cyprus
CYENS is pleased to announce the successful completion of the CARS (Children as Creators of Augmented Reality Stories) Erasmus+ project pilots in Cyprus, which took place in the first half of February. Through the use of Augmented Reality (AR), sixth-grade students had the opportunity to create their own interactive stories in teams, fostering collaboration, creativity and engagement.
Students shared their experience with their peers and parents who also had the opportunity to interact with the AR stories using tablets and smartphones.
These pilots, conducted in collaboration with @Dimotiko Scholeio Agias Napas-Antoni Tsokkou, demonstrated the potential of AR in education, offering students an immersive and dynamic way to develop storytelling and language skills.
Students provided highly positive feedback, emphasizing the engaging and immersive nature of the experience.
CYENS researchers were present to observe students’ interactions and later interviewed teachers to gain further insights into the impact of AR on storytelling and language skills development. The feedback was positive, highlighting AR’s ability to enhance both engagement and creative expression.
The findings will contribute to the ongoing development of innovative educational approaches using the affordances of AR technology.
