Stop by this informal session to gain a hands-on experience with Explore! Interactive. This new augmented reality app, created right here in Indiana, is geared toward students in grades 3-6 and promotes STEM skills by providing users with interactive play. At this demo, attendees will be able to see how a simple QR code can transform into what feels like batteries, wires, and more, sitting before them. Manipulate the objects to learn how circuits work; and learn how STEM play can be engaging -- without the mess or raiding the science closet for materials.
