Abstract      

This project, sponsored by the Association for the Promotion of Wetlands Sustainable Development and FabCafe Bangkok, addresses the declining biodiversity and youth engagement in the Nong Han Wetlands, located in Sakon Nakhon, Thailand. The goal was to strengthen high school students’ awareness and connection to the lake through innovative educational methods. Using Extended Reality (XR) technology and project-based learning, we designed interactive activities to teach biodiversity conservation. Findings indicate that XR technology significantly enhances student engagement and knowledge retention. We recommend integrating XR into school biodiversity education to sustain long-term interest in environmental stewardship among the youth.
