Designed by Rutgers University, Explorers of the Deep, focuses on the mysteries and adventures of ocean exploration—with robots! Young people learn how to use science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to explore Earth’s Ocean and how it relates to all life on the planet.
Explorers of the Deep consists of three activities that can be done all at once or individually, making it highly adaptable for classrooms, afterschool programs, clubs and more:
Ocean Expedition is a board game where youth navigate their ocean robot around the world while learning key ocean concepts. Topics include aquaculture, climate change, innovation, human impact and the ocean ecosystem. Augmented Reality is triggered by scanning QR codes on 4 key game cards, which expand the game board into the world of the game players. By utilizing audio, video, and world tracked 3D animation, game players can dive deeper into the ocean experience.
AR Experience designed and developed for Rutgers University and the National 4-H Council STEM Challenge by Thought Café and Futuretalk.
