They're not just reading about the Great Wall of China—they're standing on it. They're not just hearing about marine ecosystems—they're swimming among coral reefs and identifying species firsthand.\r\n\r\nThe excitement and engagement have been contagious. Even students who were once hesitant to participate will now eagerly await their turn to \"travel\" through lessons in virtual reality. The Meta Quest 3 will spark creativity, curiosity, and collaboration in computer science.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide cutting-edge technology; it provided opportunity.

As a teacher, I believe in the power of our students voices and how important it is for them to share their voice and opinions to the outside world.
