Here you will find a menu of beginner and intermediate STEM activities created for primary and lower secondary school students using the Simtable. With each activity, a teacher guide was created to illustrate an outline of learning objectives and outcomes of the experiment, along with a list of necessary materials and a set of instructions for carrying out the experiment. Some activities have a Student Activity Worksheet for students to record their observations and to follow along with the activity.

The Simtable is a sand table, where any landscape on Earth can be projected onto the surface of a sand table.
The Simtable utilizes agent-based modeling to display an augmented reality (AR) image over the sand of a sand table. A projector and camera which are hooked up to a computer are mounted over a table filled with sand as shown in the diagram above.
