Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig junior Stuart Smith along with math teacher Corey St. Peter built a 3-D Augmented Reality Sandbox for a school project.

The school’s Vo Tech department and IT department assisted in the build to give Smith a “Pathways” learning experience. In the following weeks Smith will give presentations to K-6 classrooms and the school board on his project.

Smith and St. Peter hope to see the sandbox used in geography classes, cultural studies of ancestral lands and an orienteering elective.
