Students and parents were allowed to visit our Virtual Reality room where we had a local start-up company showcase the games they are making for education, so our parents could see how Virtual Reality can be used in education. They have created a game where you go to a store and are given a set amount of dollars and must choose items that fit into your budget.
They also have created another room where you are able to read and then do the tasks to help students reading comprehension and ability to follow directions in order to complete tasks. Parents were really amazed as they had not done Virtual Reality and liked learning about how this can be used in education.
Our students were mentored with our BLHS BIT and BLMS BIT about the process of Engineering Design. Plan your egg racer, build your egg racer to hold the egg safely and then test it on the track. Make any changes or engineering design changes in order to be successful. Kid were very determined to be successful and kept going back to re-engineer their car. We had a two parents who are in the construction and engineering field who helped our students think through the process of engineering.
It was a successful and amazing learning opportunity for all
