Blurring the line between the digital and the real world, using AR to replace a tabletop with a mountain range or the school hallway with the surface of the moon lets students interact with their surroundings in entirely new, immersive ways.
Research shows that using AR can deepen student learning through interactivity, greater context to the world, and a sense of scale and proximity that might not otherwise be possible. And there are so many ways to use AR in your lessons. Compare the size of ocean creatures, create scenes for writing prompts or take learning outside and watch a life-sized T-Rex appear right on the school playground!
Sandbox AR is a multi-award-winning, powerful 3D-modelling tool, designed to help embed learning more quickly, easily and deeply through immersive experiences.
Pre-built lessons help teachers easily integrate immersive learning experiences into their topics. Or children can choose from a library of hundreds of 3D models and build a realistic world of their own, explore a pre-made topical scene and complete guided activities.
TimePod Adventures is an immersive exploration through time and space! In Series 1, pupils are transported to Mars in the year 2072, where pupils solve STEM challenges and travel into the future to see if their efforts were successful. Series 2 takes us back in time to prehistoric Earth, on the hunt for a dromaeosaur!
“Using Sandbox, the ruins of a Roman Villa appeared before them. They moved around the ruin, exploring the walkways, ducking through doorways, and finding artefacts. When it came to writing about Rome, this experience gave them something to write about. Learning was no longer abstract, but real, lived, in their memory.”
Hear how David, a KS2 teacher at Whitefield Primary School, used Sandbox to elevate a science lesson on polar regions.
