My Project

Virtual Reality is a top motivator for students to join our E-Sports Game Club. We are now in our 3rd year of the club and are adding a 4th VR headset so that all students get more time learning on the headsets.

My students love learning in VR!

The Meta Quest 3 is a tried and true resource in our game lab. The "Pro-Strap" helps students swap users quickly with its easy to use size adjustment knob. The hard case allows us to store the headset safely in the game lab.

Students use the headset to learn about a variety of things from the natural world with virtual field trips and fishing to physical education with rhythm-dance games and boxing. Students also learn about engineering in virtual labs. The Quest 3 is a great resource for my learners.
