Virtual Reality, the Future of Learning and Creation!

My students need a HTC Vive in order to experience where technology is headed in the future and to show them how they can build in, interact with, and create in digital 3D spaces.

My Students

My students love to learn and explore technology by working both separately and together, and I love being able to give them fun and wacky ways of doing so. From creating their own 3D creatures that can interact with the environments around them, starting from a cell and working their way to a creative and complex creature. To teaching kindergarteners and students of all ages that you can use more than just the arrow keys to play games, by showing them how to use the entire keyboard and mouse simultaneously for lots of fun. And even finding ways for them to use maps to find things together in a digital environment.

No matter what I introduce they embrace and welcome as a new experience and a brand new way to have fun with technology.

I even use some of the older students to help test things to see if the younger students can pick up the new activities easily. Overall, in a world where most only know of iPads and games that come from an app store, I want to show them what technology can really do and how fun it can be when you really get into it!

My Project

My students are curious about upcoming technologies and how they can be used as careers and the possible future of creation for them as they get older. This past year I actually had 2-3, 5th grade students that decided to take coding or robotics in their middle school year due to what they were able to experience in my class this past year. Not to mention a few parents that told me their kids now wanted to go into computer and software engineering when they grow up.

This year I want to provide more experiences that can show kids that technology isn't just playing games, it's a career and a future they can chase after.

So to do this I am looking to get a HTC Vive PRO for the students to experience the most cutting-edge technology available. A piece of equipment that I can use to teach kids in the up-coming years and one that WON'T become outdated in the next 2-3 years.

I know this is a big item to ask for. But it's one that I believe will change the lives of these kids and ignite CREATIVITY in an age of Consumption. One that will show them what they can create and achieve along with everything else I have prepared for this year.

I believe we can achieve this! But not without help! SO, please consider donating to this cause. Thank you.
