Inspiration
We wanted to make math fun, visual, and interactive for middle schoolers by combining real-world exploration with STEM learning. Augmented Reality (AR) felt like the perfect bridge to bring abstract math concepts to life.
What it does
MathQuest is an AR-based app that detects real-world objects (like tables or boxes) and triggers math challenges based on their shapes and dimensions. Learners solve these puzzles to earn XP, unlock badges, and level up through a fun, game-like experience.
How we built it
We designed interactive mockups using Canva and created a prototype flow simulating real-time AR math missions. Each screen—from object scanning to achievements—was carefully planned for intuitive learning and gamified progression.
Challenges we ran into
Designing an experience that balances educational value with fun was a key challenge. We also had to think through how AR could realistically detect shapes and provide meaningful, measurable data for math questions.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of designing a complete, learner-friendly flow that feels like an adventure. From thoughtful UI to gamified missions and badge rewards, MathQuest makes math exciting and empowering.
What we learned
We learned how design and technology (like AR) can transform learning. This project taught us how to align STEM goals with real-world application, and how to think like both a developer and a student.
What's next for MathQuest
We plan to integrate real AR detection, expand to more math topics and test with real students to refine the experience. Eventually, we aim to launch it as an interactive STEM learning tool in schools.
