🚀 Montessori-Inspired AR Mini-Game Prototype: Learning by Doing + LEGO 3D + Shape Stitching

#gamedev #learning #showdev

Hey devs & creators! 👋

I’ve been experimenting with an AR mini-game prototype that combines:
1. Montessori-inspired “learning by doing”
• No lengthy tutorials. Players explore, experiment, and learn mechanics directly.
• Encourages curiosity, trial-and-error, and problem-solving.
2. Shape Stitching + LEGO 3D Construction
• Players connect geometric pieces to complete platforms or pathways.
• Stack, rotate, and combine pieces to build multi-layer structures.
• Develops spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, and engineering skills.
3. Interactive AR Elements
• A robot collects items across the player-built structures.
• Immediate feedback shows success/failure, encouraging iterative learning.
4. Modular & Flexible Prototype
• Single HTML file with drag-and-drop, validation, and robot movement logic.
• Designed for quick experimentation and AR prototyping in Adobe Aero.

Key takeaways:
• Learning by doing can be applied in digital/AR experiences to support both creative and analytical skills.
• Modular design allows easy expansion for more levels or complexity.
• Montessori-style interaction encourages engagement without overwhelming guidance.

I’d love to hear your thoughts—especially on how educational AR experiences can be made more intuitive and enjoyable while still teaching critical spatial and problem-solving skills.
