My Project

Meta Quest 3 includes a combination of virtual reality and augmented reality which is helpful for exciting interactive virtual field trips, STEM projects, and science activities. By having this system in the classroom, all students will get a chance to immerse themselves into the actual learning regardless of their learning style. It is possible that we can take virtual field trips with applications added to the meta quest 3 and other activities using this latest technology. This will be a unique and an amazing experience.

This project would significantly help my students "explore areas that are not possible in the physical classroom."

This is will be a exciting and customized way to get the students motivated about using technology in their future.
