DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Iulian Radu\n\n \n\nAbstract:\n\nMakerspaces are p
 opular project-based learning environments where students interact with ph
 ysical objects and peer collaboration\, while developing 21st century skil
 ls and understanding of STEM topics. At the same time\, augmented reality 
 (AR) technology\, which combines physical objects with digital visualizati
 ons\, is becoming increasingly applicable for makerspace activities and ha
 s potential to address challenges for student learning. However\, there is
  a lack of understanding of what makes this technology effective or ineffe
 ctive for makerspace education\, and the practical and systemic challenges
  of integrating it in existing makerspace settings. In this talk I will pr
 esent lessons learned from multiple research projects that used augmented 
 reality to enhance student learning\, collaboration\, and co-creation in m
 akerspaces\, specifically in the contexts of learning physics\, robotics\,
  computer science and electronics education.\n\n \n\nBio:\n\nDr. Iulian Ra
 du is a former Principal Research Scientist at Harvard University's Gradua
 te School of Education\, currently on a spiritual sabbatical. His work int
 ersects immersive design and educational innovation\, focusing on makerspa
 ces\, AR/VR collaborative learning\, embodied cognition\, empathy\, and im
 mersive software / hardware engineering. His recent work at Harvard Univer
 sity explored AR/VR for collaborative education in maker spaces (part of H
 GSE Learning\, Innovation and Technology Lab)\, and VR for empathy and bia
 s training (part of HGSE Immersion Lab). He has previously led research in
 itiatives on co-design\, children\, and educational technology while colla
 borating with organizations such as PBS KIDS\, MIT\, Samsung Research\, Qu
 alcomm\, and WestEd Research. Iulian holds a Ph.D. from Georgia Institute 
 of Technology\, and a B.Sc.Hons. from University of British Columbia. More
