ARIES Pilots in Action

As part of ARIES, a coordinated piloting action brought the project’s approach into real secondary-school classrooms across partner countries and France. With the support of schools and consortium partners, 23 pilots engaged 453 students to test how elements of Augmented and Immersive Reality can be meaningfully integrated into traditional teaching. Coupled with Design Thinking, these pilots explored new ways to enhance engagement, creativity, and problem-solving, while generating concrete evidence on the feasibility and impact of the ARIES methodology. The insights gathered here inform both the refinement of our tools and their future deployment at scale.
