My Project

Imagine describing the majesty of a coral reef to a child who's never dipped their toes in the ocean. Picture explaining the thrill of standing beneath towering redwoods to a student who's never ventured beyond their towns streets.

Many of my students in low-income communities lack real-life experiences and background knowledge, hindering their comprehension in the classroom.

With virtual reality headsets, we can bridge this gap by providing them with immersive experiences that bring the world to life.

Our classroom is a place where curiosity thrives, but without access to diverse experiences, many students struggle to connect with the material. Virtual reality offers a solution by transporting students to different places, times, and environments, allowing them to explore and learn firsthand.

By donating to our project, you will help to expand our students' horizons, and show them the incredible opportunities our world has to offer.
