Transform Learning: Why VR Is Vital for Our Science Class
Help me give my students a VR headset to give them enriching STEM experiences using the latest, interactive technology.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lazo's classroom raised $669

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Virtual Reality (VR) technology is more than entertainment; it’s a powerful educational tool that can revolutionize how students engage with science. A VR headset in our classroom would give students opportunities to explore the human body, walk through ancient ecosystems, or even journey into space—bringing abstract concepts to life. These immersive experiences go beyond textbooks and videos, offering hands-on learning that deepens understanding and sparks curiosity.
My goal is to inspire a passion for science learning in every student.
By integrating VR into lessons, I can provide access to previously impossible experiences, like interactive simulations of molecular chemistry or observing natural phenomena up close. These tools will also enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills, preparing students for STEM careers and a tech-driven future.
What makes this project truly special is my students. They are resilient, curious, and eager to learn despite the challenges they face. Many come from under-resourced communities and have limited access to advanced technology. A VR headset would not only enrich their education but also show them that their potential is recognized and valued by supporters like you.
By funding this project, you’re opening doors to discovery, fostering a love of learning, and empowering a generation to dream bigger. Thank you for considering this opportunity to transform our classroom and inspire future innovators.
