Kids VR Project

This project was an opportunity for me to teach students how to create virtual reality content in elementary school, discover problems through observation, and even create virtual reality devices for children.

#Kids Virtual Reality

Computer/Technology Literacy: Virtual Reality Maker Studio Class

Instructor: Mrs. Debra Cipolone & Johnny Cho
Location: Alfred Cramer College Preparatory Lab School
Hours: Jan. – May & Oct. – Dec. // Mon. & Wed. // 8:40 – 10:55  (3 classes)

Students will learn how to make virtual reality content. It is important for them to understand the concept of how to make these cutting-edge technology content, enhance digital literacy, learn concept and technology of virtual reality (e.g., how it works and what it is), increase a sense of STEM education. The course will facilitate students to increase their computational thinking with creativity and imagination. In summary, the students will learn

  • Making a VR Content

  • Learning Animation and coding

  • Understanding 3D concepts

  • Expanding Imagination

Teaching Application: Cospace
