S3 E4: Recap from STEAM Camp at Hocking College

For my session, we covered augmented reality and use cases for this emerging technology.  The slides that review career opportunities can be found at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Room1dmxoC6Cl1LgsXtAHNshreqKPQrcjCTaXQ4zuag/edit?usp=sharing.  I explained to the students that my side hustle includes helping small businesses with their marketing and that includes social media marketing so that's where my natural focus and interest lies in but don't think that's the only use case for AR technology.  There are multiple use cases already being implemented or organizations are working to learn how to implement them.  Current examples include medical training, factory floor training, real estate markets, and more that I'm not even aware of or have been thought of yet.  

One of the reasons I'm so fascinated with AR is that it provides an opportunity to combine art and development (visual coding or the more traditional "hard" coding").  If you check out my website https://tashapenwell.com/, you see that the banner says "Analytical, Curious, Creative" and learning and developing on AR technologies is a perfect way to explore those three characteristics.
