My Covid Story – EducART by Appearition

My COVID Story is a fun new competition to share your experience during the pandemic in a new and exciting way. Explore your creative side and create an Augmented Reality (AR) experience/story about your time under COVID. Open to Australian School Students (K-12).

Competition closes Sunday 11th October 2020

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality (AR) brings digital content to the real world. It uses technology to superimpose information (sounds, images, models and text) on the world we see. We want you to create an experience based on the theme of your time during COVID. This might be in relation to a new skill you have learned or how this time has been making you feel. The possibilities are endless.
