Area Kick-off meeting
The Area (Augmented REality for Schools) kick-off meeting was held in Fano (Italy) on 9-10 May 2024.
The project’s main goal is to provide extensive resources and support to make AR far more affordable, accessible, and effective for schools.
Despite the enormous potential of AR, many schools have not been able to take full advantage of it for various reasons including; financial restraints, lack of expertise or appreciation of how it can enrich teaching and learning.
This project brings together partners and experts in education, technology and STEAM that are Learnable form Italy, Ecece from Austria, Indicia as project coordinator and Skola Felix from Slovakia and E3stem from Greece.
During the meeting, the partners had the opportunity to present their organisations and define the work plan for the coming months.
