My Project
In today's rapidly changing world, exposing our students to industries that will define their futures is more important than ever. Unfortunately, not all students can physically visit cutting-edge industries and companies due to limited school funding and logistical constraints. We seek your support to bring the next best thing to our classroom: virtual field trips using the Meta Quest 3S. By leveraging virtual reality (VR), we can immerse students in hands-on industry experiences without ever leaving the classroom, giving them access to hospitality, recreation, and tourism industries. This project is to purchase a set of Meta Quest 3 VR headsets, educational software, and VR industry tours to allow our students to experience industries like never before. These virtual field trips will allow them to see inside companies, tour advanced labs, and even try high-tech tools and simulations in real time, making learning dynamic and engaging. It will provide students with immersive VR experiences that transport them to high-tech industries without the cost or logistics of travel.
Enable hands-on learning with virtual labs and simulations in hospitality, recreation, and tourism fields.
Inspire students to pursue hospitality, recreation, and tourism careers by allowing them to virtually "visit" industries and meet with professionals they wouldn't otherwise have access to. Provide cutting-edge technology in the classroom to help bridge the digital divide for students from underrepresented communities.
