Augmented Reality Sandbox

As an interactive, hands-on activity led by a museum educator, the Augmented Reality Sandbox sponsored by Corteva has multiple modes and games geared towards varying age groups. Museum educators guide guests through activities and games in daily demonstrations.

Discovery Gallery and Exhibits Manager Robbie Mueller shares the appeal of the AR Sandbox is being able to visualize certain scientific concepts through engaging and interactive augmented reality. A variety of learning opportunities allow visitors to visualize scientific concepts through engaging and interactive augmented reality.

Participate in daily demonstrations of the AR Sandbox in the Discovery Gallery at 11:30 a.m. | 1:30 p.m. | 3:30 p.m. 

Learning Opportunities

The topography map function enables conversations about mapping elevation and viewing changes as the augmented reality changes in real time. Topographic contour lines and simulated water serve as powerful educational tools for understanding geography, hydrology, and earth sciences.

In the sandbox’s artistic mode, young minds explore a fantastic color contrast.

In the dinosaur display, uncover fossils in the digital display and bring the past to life with an immersive interaction.

The Augmented Reality Sandbox is sponsored by Corteva.
