This project is fully funded
My Students
The students in my class and school come from a diverse socioeconomic background. Many students don't have the opportunity to go on many trips with their families. I want to be able to share world outside out town with my students.
I want to be able to take kids on virtual field trips now that we cannot leave our classroom.
Unfortunately, due to Covid but even before Covid my students were very limited on being able to go on field trips and many families don't have the ability to take kids on trips.
My Project
My students are coming to school during Covid but unfortunately we are very limited to where we can go inside the school. We are only allowed inside our classroom and students spend a large portion of the day at their seats.
I hope to be able to bring my students on some cool virtual field trips while they are inside the classroom especially during the winter when we can't take them outside.
I have used VR sets that were loaned to the school before and my students loved going on some pretty awesome adventures all over the world!
More than half of students from low‑income households
