Abstract

The aim of this study is the development of educational materials incorporating augmented reality elements for teaching the gecko effect to 5th and 6th-grade students. The educational materials were evaluated by primary school teachers with experience in teaching Nanoscience/Nanotechnology. The teachers highlighted positive aspects, application challenges, and suggested changes.
