Description
Find Tahoe Tessie is an AR app where users can learn more about how climate change is affecting Lake Tahoe through the search for the mythical creature “Tahoe Tessie.”
Find Tahoe Tessie is an Augmented Reality (AR) app where users can learn more about how climate change is affecting Lake Tahoe through the search for the mythical creature “Tahoe Tessie.”
Tahoe Tessie isn’t real but climate change is.
Use your phone to search the lake and its surroundings for Tahoe Tessie, sometimes finding clues about water clarity, dissolved oxygen, algae, and the food web, each clue is accompanied with a question and an image, animation, video or 360 video.
You will receive scientific tools along the way to help you better understand the clues you are finding and get you closer to finding Tahoe Tessie, these tools act as 3D/AR learning experiences teaching you how these tools actually work, just like actual scientists use when researching the health of the lake.
Each time you find Tahoe Tessie you gain a new augmented reality animation, using your phone you can place Tessie using augmented reality right on the lake (or in your living room), then take a photo and share with your friends - “Look I found Tessie!”

Ratings and Reviews
Amazing app!
Incredibly educational. I have spent a lot of time at Lake Tahoe and I learned quite a bit from this app. My kid loved using this app while we were at the beach. He enjoyed teaching the rest of the family about lake warming and impacts of algae. Highly recommend for all individuals.
Fun and informative
This app is great! There’s lots of great information and finding the different tessies is very fun
Completely inaccessible for blind people using
I think it's absolutely horrific that an app that's designed to get children interested in science is completely ignoring the blind community with an app that doesn't incorporate the voiceover program. I've participated in UC Davis is scientific endeavors in the past and this is really the first time I've ever run into something completely inaccessible. This needs to be fixed immediately. Completely unacceptable
