Introducing the Spark AR Curriculum

As we dig into another exciting new year of possibilities for the Spark AR platform, one area of investment we will continue to prioritize is education and training, to help AR creators, at any level, build their skills, advance their careers and if they choose, pursue more creator-for-hire opportunities.

Which is why today, we’re excited to roll out the Spark AR Curriculum, a new online learning course developed in partnership with Facebook Blueprint, to help creators learn augmented reality using the Spark AR platform.
