Children as Creators of Augmented Reality Stories
CARS is an Erasmus+ project which aims to promote augmented reality (AR) as a medium children can use to create and share their own stories as part of their language learning experience.
Project No: 2023-1-MT01-KA220-SCH-000154134.
Project Phase
We’ve entered the teacher training phase in Burgos, Spain, where educators are gaining hands-on experience with integrating Augmented Reality into their classrooms. These sessions are key to empowering teachers to help students become AR storytellers, transforming language learning through immersive technology.
Our Mission
Our mission is to unlock the creative potential of children by integrating augmented reality into language education, fostering a global community of young storytellers.
CARS emphasises immersive language education for young learners, harnessing the captivating power of augmented reality. By engaging a vibrant network of primary schools, our partners will explore and evaluate the effectiveness of AR as a storytelling and pedagogical tool. Comprehensive training activities for teachers will be a cornerstone of the project, equipping them to guide children in becoming the narrators of their own stories.
