This project brings together partners and expert in education, technology and STEAM to design and make available extensive resources and support with the aim of making AR far more affordable, accessible and effective for schools.  At the heart of the project is an AR Toolkit which is a comprehensive guide on how to ensure AI is successfully embedded across the curriculum as an effective teaching and learning tool.  The toolkit will also provide a wide range of activities and AI approaches in sciences, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics and how these can be developed into cross-curricular STEAM teaching and learning approaches.  The Toolkit also focusses on humanities subjects with the theory and practice behind numerous activities designed to promote multi-cultural awareness, inclusion and equity.  Similarly, schools will be shown how school resources can be accessed in a wide variety of languages thus making them accessible to all.  Practical solutions in the development and use of AR hardware and how resources, such as AR headsets, can be built in school and a low cost.

The project will implement online training workshops for teachers supported by a comprehensive toolkit of theory and methodology in AR implementation.  This methodology will be piloted in school with assessment tools made available to assess the projects effectiveness.   A dedicated website will be made available throughout and act as a platform for resources and complementary apps. Transnational workshops will be held both in person and online to monitor the ongoing progress of the project.
