Overview

A Hybrid course: Make VR + Learn in VR

We provide students with an opportunity to develop new technology skills and rediscover academic subjects through the new medium of Virtual Reality. Together with peers from different US cities, students will work in small groups to create real and imaginary applications of newly acquired skills and knowledge. 

In every course, students will use Virtual Reality technology and storytelling as a pathway to improve the 4Cs: creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. Using the 4Cs, students will not only gain an understanding of the subject matter but will also practice interdisciplinary skills necessary for college and career readiness.

In this unique camp, we are combining the immersive magic of learning in VR with practical skills of creating VR space and 3D objects. Every day, you will begin with learning the basics of Unity coding and Blender 3D modeling followed by the breathtaking Mission to Mars in our VR space.

By the end of the course you will be able to import a 3D object you created in our VR environment.

PART 1: 1 hour - coding session

PART 2: 1 hour of live instruction in VR and 1 hour of group work guided by interns.

(UNITY CODING FOR VR & MISSION TO MARS)
July 30, 2021 - Tanya Daniel
My son was super excited to take the unity coding for VR and Mission to Mars class. He said he "finally" learned how to plug an animation into unity and how to control it. He has created several great animations since. Mission to Mars was super useful in learning how dangerous life on Mars might be, "almost like a life in a rural area". And "it's pretty chilly there too, so all you can do is ski all day (once you create a ski resort, of course)". It was also his first VR experience and he enjoyed it thoroughly. Overall the course was a great mix of learning and fun.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Tanya. I'm glad that you son is continuing to enjoy the knowledge and experience he acquired in the camp and is creating more animations. I'd also love reading how immerse he felt in the environment.
