team organized a co-design workshop on\u00a0<b>7 June 2026<\/b>\u00a0at Athalassas Park, followed by two additional workshops on\u00a0<b>22 June 2026<\/b>\u00a0at\u00a0<b>STEM Education Cyprus<\/b>\u00a0in Nicosia.<\/p><p>The workshops brought together students, teachers, and environmental enthusiasts to collaboratively shape the visual, functional, and narrative elements of the future XR learning experience. Through interactive activities, discussions, and hands-on experiments, participants explored key soil-related topics, including\u00a0<b>soil composition, soil layers, soil biodiversity, soil erosion, and soil health<\/b>. Participants also had the opportunity to use\u00a0<b>micro:bit technology<\/b>\u00a0to measure soil moisture and learn how digital tools can support environmental monitoring and sustainable land management.<\/p><p>The sessions provided valuable insights into users\u2019 needs, expectations, and ideas, helping to ensure that the SOIL-XR platform will be engaging, educational, and relevant to its target audiences. Participants were encouraged to share their perspectives on how immersive technologies, such as Extended Reality (XR), can enhance environmental education and increase awareness of soil conservation and sustainability.<\/p><p>The co-design process is a key component of the SOIL-XR project, ensuring that end users actively contribute to the development of the platform, its educational content, and its interactive XR experiences.<\/p><p>Individuals interested in participating in future co-design activities will have another opportunity to engage with the project during the\u00a0<b>Robotex Cyprus 2026<\/b>\u00a0competition on\u00a0<b>27 and 28 of June 2026<\/b>, where the ECECT team will host a dedicated booth featuring interactive soil-related activities, demonstrations, and opportunities to provide feedback that will further support the development of the SOIL-XR experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-170000e

part of the co-creation and development of the\u00a0SOIL-XR Extended Reality (XR) Platform, the ECECT team organized a co-design workshop on\u00a07 June 2026\u00a0at Athalassas Park, followed by two additional workshops on\u00a022 June 2026\u00a0at\u00a0STEM Education Cyprus\u00a0in Nicosia. The workshops brought together students, teachers, and environmental enthusiasts to collaboratively shape the visual, functional, and narrative elements of the future XR learning experience. Through interactive activities, discussions, and hands-on experiments, participants explored key soil-related topics, including\u00a0soil composition, soil layers, soil biodiversity, soil erosion, and soil health. Participants also had the opportunity to use\u00a0micro:bit technology\u00a0to measure soil moisture and learn how digital tools can support environmental monitoring and sustainable land management. The sessions provided valuable insights into users\u2019 needs, expectations, and ideas, helping to ensure that the SOIL-XR platform will be engaging, educational, and relevant to its target audiences. Participants were encouraged to share their perspectives on how immersive technologies, such as Extended Reality (XR), can enhance environmental education and increase awareness of soil conservation and sustainability. The co-design process is a key component of the SOIL-XR project, ensuring that end users actively contribute to the development of the platform, its educational content, and its interactive XR experiences. Individuals interested in participating in future co-design activities will have another opportunity to engage with the project during the\u00a0Robotex Cyprus 2026\u00a0competition on\u00a027 and 28 of June 2026, where the ECECT team will host a dedicated booth featuring interactive soil-related activities, demonstrations, and opportunities to provide feedback that will further support the development of the SOIL-XR experience.
