Abstract

Our team of educational researchers, designers, and programmers are developing a suite of mobile augmented reality (MAR) apps to support rural families to learn science outdoors during their out-of-school time. We present MAR technology designs we have used across four mobile apps for learning about cave formation, land-water interactions over geologic time, pollinators, and pollination. We describe three different MAR app features to support observing science in outdoors: 1) AR filters and visualizations; 2) digital resources tied to place and 3) photo capture and question prompts to integrate observations and science.
