About this lesson: This engaging computer science lesson introduces students to the exciting world of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). Learners explore how AR overlays digital information onto the real world, while VR creates immersive digital environments. Through interactive definitions, real-world examples, and a browser-based 3D pottery simulation, students develop digital skills, deepen their understanding of emerging technologies, and differentiate between AR and VR. This lesson supports international digital literacy outcomes and encourages students to think critically about how AR/VR is used in fields like gaming, education, navigation, and design. Ideal for coding, robotics, and STEM programs globally.
