Participants will be introduced to AR tools that can transform drawings into captivating environments through practical demonstrations and hands-on activities. Teachers will gain the expertise needed to expand their art classroom experiences using AR technology.

As schools progress and evolve to develop both staff and students using 21st Century Competencies, a great way will be to involve the school in a community-focused project. This encourages the development of being a Concerned Citizen and Active Contributor to the community and environment. Harnessing an existing school event, the annual art exhibition, this project grew to become more inclusive of the community around it. Participants will take away ideas of how they can adapt this model for use in their schools as well.
