My Project

Through Virtual Reality, my students can access parts of the world they’ve never seen and may likely never see in person. Virtual Reality makes learning active, empowering students to access and learn about the world. Engaging classes mean students can better learn advanced topics while improving skills.

Critical thinking skills have diminished through the COVID-19 Pandemic, and this is a great way to get students engaged in hands-on activities that relate to the real world in a fun way when they are in school.

It is also something that will make them excited to come to school. Students need exposure to many forms of technology in order to be prepared for their futures.

My students have received 1 VR Headset already, however, we need a charging station for the headset so that the headset is ready to go when we need it.
