OVERVIEW

  • XR Foundations for Educators is designed to lay a foundation for XR (including Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality) and help teachers gain confidence in the fundamentals of the latest immersive technologies.
  • XR and the Metaverse are cutting-edge learning tools to engage students and enhance instruction. Educators will become part of a supportive learning community that will propel their learning, foster excitement, and inspire them to apply their new skills in classrooms.
  • This 4-day program, with no coding background required, helps teachers to experience building a simple XR experience with the support of a live instructor and mentors. The program also lays the foundation for the teachers interested in more advanced study of experience design and gameplay interaction.
  • This professional development opportunity is offered at no cost in partnership with the Verizon Foundation.
