diversity is essential to the growth of the industry. Therefore, effortsshould be made to address the unique hurdles that female Hispanics encounter in STEM [16] toreduce the gender gap.In past years, research projects have highlighted the benefits of combining traditional teachingmethods with computer technology in education [17]. An example of this technology isAugmented Reality (AR). AR allows the user to see and interact with computer-generatedinformation overlayed in the real world. AR has been recognized as a practical andsupplementary teaching tool that can greatly improve traditional teaching methods [10]. AR canbe used as an interactive tool that combines the real world with the digital world to createflexible learning and enrich
