My Project

When I was a child, I always dreamed of inventing a time machine to visit my the most important historical events in person. While those dreams have yet to become a reality, VR headsets provide the next best thing for my students.

As a small Title I school, we often struggle to provide our students with the field trips and travel opportunities that other students often get.

This headset will provide an opportunity for my students to travel the world through time and space all from the comfort of our classroom! The experiences provided will allow students to walk the streets of ancient Rome, watch speeches by our greatest Presidents from the crowd, and experience the intensity of WWI trench warfare firsthand.
