aneconomically stable society with abundant access to technological innovations due to thepredominance of the oil and gas industry within the country. Despite the unilateral access totechnology, even for young children, public schools are segregated by gender, and the Ministryof Education (MOE) designs the textbooks and distributes them to public schools. Theeducational system consists of four levels: kindergarten, primary, middle, and high school [10].High school in Kuwait is the most important stage in the educational system because highschool students decide their college majors, which then determines available colleges. Forexample, a science major is able to attend almost any college, while a literature major haslimited options. To switch from
technology can solve. Once students settle on a technical topic, they work to develop a practical scope anddepth that refines the topic. For example, a student who expresses interest in the problem ofclimate change is encouraged to focus on a sub-issue such as rising sea levels or deforestation. Astudent interested in pursuing new and innovative solutions for amputees is encouraged to focuson lower or upper body amputations, not both. Refinement of the student’s topic enables amanageable scope and a depth that is ideal for a technical talk given to a wide audience. The goals of the topic proposal are for students to clearly communicate a specific societalproblem that can be solved or lessened by an engineering solution, to cite a

Innovative curricula have been developed in recent years to integratedisciplinary discourse regarding energy to support students’ transfer of energy and matter acrossdisciplinary contexts [13], [14]. More broadly, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, andtransdisciplinary teaching initiatives leveraging chemical concepts have shown promise inimproving students’ academic achievement when compared to traditional curricula [15]. While previous research has revealed energy and matter to be a challenging topic, morework is needed to determine the effects of

attempting to make it more interactive, immersive, and compelling, andimproving the accuracy of placement of augmentations. To improve immersion, the authors areusing AR objects to place the user in an environment that visually approximates the layer beingdepicted on the globe. In this way, the user sees depictions of the textures and colors of the layerand can then also interact with the layer to learn facts about it (e.g., temperature, composition),potentially making the learning process more active and lasting. By starting with anaugmentation on the globe and then bringing the user “into” that augmentation, the authorsdemonstrate an innovative way of changing the “virtuality” of an AR experience. In this case,AR objects are added to move the user
