Get ready to take Mario Kart to the desert sands of Egypt in augmented reality!

Spend the day with the SPACEJUMP gang as we transport you to Ancient Egypt, where floors become epic racetracks. Immerse yourself in the action as you race augmented reality karts through thrilling circuits. This groundbreaking experience merges real cars with virtual racing, offering a fresh twist on the excitement of Mario Kart. 

During this drop and leave program, participants will:

  • Work in teams to brainstorm, create and build ancient Egyptian racetracks.
