The Role of Augmented Reality in Enhancing STEM Education: A New Frontier

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) has emerged as a transformative tool in education, particularly in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. This paper explores the potential of AR to enhance student engagement, improve understanding of complex concepts, and provide immersive learning experiences. The findings suggest that AR can bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, thus fostering a more interactive and effective learning environment. Through a review of recent literature, this paper highlights the current state of AR in STEM education, identifies key benefits and challenges, and suggests future directions for research and implementation.
