Research Paper(s)
Improve STEM education by providing insights into effective teaching methods. Sharing findings helps engage students in science and technology.
Work Package 3: AR/VR Educational Material Design & Development
AR/VR educational materials
Explore the future of learning with immersive AR/VR educational materials that bring subjects to life like never before!
SCP STEM-IT 3D Model Viewer
1) Cardiovascular System is an interactive AR learning resource that helps students explore the structure and function of the cardiovascular system. The STEM topic covered is Biology. Instructions and tutorials for using the resource are provided in the Educational Handbook, p. 75.
2) The STEM topic covered is Earth and Environmental Science, with a focus on geology and geodynamics. The resource explores earthquakes, volcanoes, volcanism, tectonic plate movement, divergent and convergent plate boundaries, subduction, and geological hazards. Instructions and tutorials for using the resource are provided in the Educational Handbook, p. 75.
ARTutor – Acids, Bases and Salts
This resource, created with ARTutor, uses augmented reality to help students explore one of the core topics in Chemistry, Acids, Bases and Salts. Using a smartphone or tablet, students can scan pages from a printed or digital book and access interactive content that supports the learning material, making key chemistry concepts more accessible and easier to understand. The resource is available in two versions, one for middle school and one for high school. It offers a simple way to make chemistry more engaging without requiring specialist equipment or advanced technical skills.
Full instructions and tutorials are available in the Educational Handbook, pp. 48–55.

STEM-IT VR Museum – Climate Change Exhibition
The STEM-IT VR Museum takes students through a six-room virtual exhibition dedicated to climate change. Each room explores a different aspect of the topic, covering the scientific processes involved, the effects on ecosystems and communities, the links with migration, and the role of sustainable responses and solutions. By combining images, videos, 3D elements and a final quiz, the exhibition provides teachers with an accessible and engaging way to guide students through the complexities of climate change.
Full instructions and tutorials are available in the Educational Handbook, pp. 56–60.
Energy Lab VR
EnergyLab VR is an interactive virtual science laboratory developed by VITECO, where students explore the first and second laws of thermodynamics through six practical experiments. This guide supports teachers step by step in creating a course on the STEM-IT platform, enrolling students, and using EnergyLab VR in the classroom.
Full instructions and tutorials are available in the Educational Handbook, pag.60–77
Mission Mars: Can We Survive?
Mission Mars: Can We Survive? is an interactive 3D learning resource created with Delightex Edu. Students can move through a virtual Mars base, explore different areas of the environment and interact with digital elements as part of the activity. The resource makes use of 3D scenes, objects and guided interactions to support exploration in a more immersive way.
Full instructions and tutorials are available in the Educational Handbook, pp. 107–115.
