Rain Gardeners

Rain Gardeners consists of 4 second-year students from Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center (ETC). Working with our client, The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, we are creating a fun and intuitive digital tool using AR technology for educators at Lincoln School who wants to educate 3-5 grade students about the ecology of a rain garden.

The goal is to help students have a better understanding of how rain gardens work, how plants benefit from flooding and the ecosystem by making an AR experience on tablets. This is a project that supports and enhances the educators’ teaching experience.
