Explore new worlds with the AR Town EaRL Mat and Findel Free EaRL AR App! Program EaRL (not included) to explore real world scenarios while navigating around the town, completing challenges and unlocking exciting augmented reality elements
Developed to achieve the objectives from the computing national curriculum, students can work independently, in pairs or in groups to get EaRL to where each step of the challenges asks
Once the correct grid number is written in the app, the challenge will show the AR or move on to the next step
EaRL (not included) provides a hands‐on coding and programming experience for students, allowing them to apply these computing concepts practically and engagingly
By programming EaRL to navigate environments, solve challenges, and interact with different elements of the AR mat, students can develop their understanding of algorithms, sequencing, and debugging
They also gain experience using logical reasoning to predict and control the robot’;s behaviour
This can achieve cross‐curricular objectives beyond computing, relating to Maths regarding Place Value and Coordinates and English with instructional writing
The challenges are suitable for both KS1 and KS2 and can be adapted to suit different ability levels
