Smart City: New AR adventure at the battery inspires children and families!

von-Thünen-Straße 7, 31134 Hildesheim, Deutschland - What happens in the Hildesheim city field? As of today, children and families can discover a completely new gaming experience in Hildesheim at the active playground ("Akki") in Hildesheim. As part of the smart city project, digital augmented reality elements flow into the game and learning offers. The goal here? Create an innovative and instructive gaming experience that leads back to nature and conveys important topics such as environmental awareness and traffic safety. Mayor Dr. Ingo Meyer and Social Department Malte Spitzer recently introduced the new AR elements-and tried it themselves!

The "Adventeuar.akki" offers three exciting AR-based elements: a schnitzel hunt, blank plans and an interactive traffic garden. Here the little ones can not only have fun, but also learn about important topics such as bees, water consumption and resource savings. It is impressive how the combination of analog and digital play promotes the creativity and curiosity of the children. With 3D construction instructions you can become active yourself and build a bird feed dispenser. If that doesn't sound like a perfect summer vacation highlight!

A look at the functions

With the help of the "Akki Durkar" app, which is available in all common app stores, the little explorers immerse themselves in the digital world. The active playground was not only expanded to include digital elements, but also developed a holistic concept that supports the development of problem -solving skills. The AR traffic garden in a playful way conveys the most important traffic rules and ensures that the children can also learn interactively here.

• schnitzel hunt: children answer questions about environmental issues.
• construction plans: 3D instructions for building yourself.
• traffic garden: interactive mediation of traffic rules.

target groups are mainly children and families who like to be outside during the holidays and want to learn something at the same time. This is also reflected in the gradual further developments of the project, which range from the integration of the battery bot to the implementation of digital construction boxes.

ar and education

But that's not all! Augmented reality has the potential not only to entertain, but also to revolutionize education sustainably. As described in an [analysis by artsphare.com] (https://kunstsphare.com/lernrevolution- through-augment-reality-ar-ar-die-bild-morgen-gestalt/), AR enables a tangible representation of complex concepts and complements digital information in the real world. Teachers can use AR to create materials for different learning styles, and this increases the commitment and active participation of the students.

The advantages of AR in education are undeniable. Interactive learning methods not only support various learning styles, but also promote critical thinking and problem -solving skills. We see examples such as "Google Expeditions" for virtual excursions that raise learning to a new level and give students the opportunity to learn more than just from books.

The development of these technologies and methods is remarkable and is viewed by experts as the key to the educational revolution. The current initiative in the Hildesheimer "Akki" is a step in the right direction - the combination of digital learning and real game.

From July 3, at the beginning of the summer vacation, visitors can look forward to the new AR game fun in the battery. The active playground is open from Monday to Friday between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. So if you want to spice up your weekend, you should definitely plan a visit!
