Finally, the obtained results of the perceptions before the activities establish that 20.2%were negative and only44.7% positive. Afterwards the activities with augmented reality, negative preferences were eliminated and positive reached an 80.5%, achieving to increase the interest and aspirations in students of high secondary education to the formation of STEM profiles and scientific vocation.
