My Project
So much of STEM education is introducing students to complex concepts that many can see as "beyond them" or "too hard" for them to comprehend. Exposing them to these concepts at an early age and at a level at which they can understand and then build is key.
By demystifying these technologies in the eyes of students it empowers them to take ownership, inevitably becoming innovators of these same technologies.
By providing these Virtual Reality Headset materials students will be able to participate in self-paced lessons around virtual reality that go beyond what they can read about and will put the technology they are studying into their hands!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
