Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

We are looking to receive 16 VR/AR headsets that will impact our students. We can easily launch, monitor, and guide VR experiences across all headsets from a central device, ensuring focused and effective learning. ClassVR supports Texas state standards, offering immersive lessons that enhance curriculum delivery.

VR has been shown to significantly increase knowledge retention, boost exam results, and deepen student engagement by creating impactful, memorable learning experiences.

By exploring ancient civilizations, scientific concepts, or historical events, students are immersed in learning like never before. ClassVR transforms classrooms into dynamic learning environments, helping students achieve better outcomes through the power of immersive technology. The cubes will allow us to alternate reality and manipulate a slew of things, and it would be like they are right there.

It also includes the subscription to the licensing that we need which include being able to create scenes and walk through Careers to show students what it would be like to build houses, weld, work on cars etc.
