Our project strives to discover possible solutions to the question in the Education track: What can technology facilitate in helping parents in homeschooling their children?
Students require hands-on and visual experiments, yet students that take remote classes or home-schooled students face difficulties in understanding concepts because they do not have access to hands on learning materials at home. And that's were our project, IntARactive models, can help!
IntARactive models is a web app where Mechanical Engineering Students can come along and learn with a more hands-on experience through the use of 3D models and AR. There is also a chatroom function created with Twilio which allows students to find peer students with similar interests and ask questions and collaborate.
