The inspiration for leARn sprung from the learning challenges encountered during the COVID-19 crisis, especially for K-12. The aim is to meet these challenges by providing more interactive ways of learning via an AR toolset.

leARn is a mobile application where educators upload learning materials supported with AR content for K-12 students. The students can in turn choose the learning subject from a module and use the AR content to enhance their understanding.

How we built it

leARn app was built using Flutter integrated with Unity for mobile. Frontend and backend made use of typeScript, html5, css3.

Challenges we ran into

One of the challenges was integrating the Flutter app with the AR content. Also, setting up the database repository to efficiently retrieve topics stored and/or searched by students and within EchoAR posed logical architectural design and rest API challenges.

Accomplishments that we are proud of

Being able to integrate the app with Unity was challenging, but rewarding once done. Also consolidating the both the mobile app and the front-end with the back-end was a winning boost.

What we learned

The learning experience was vast, especially in the details as it is with code. It was a novel experience as the acquisition of knowledge of AR creation will be henceforth worth exploiting.

What's next for leARn

In the future, leARn is expected to serve students at every level of education. The content should be diverse to meet the needs of its users while maintaining a user-friendly interface.
