- VR enables students to exist beyond the boundary of physical reality. For instance, VR can help students simulate flying through the bloodstream while learning about different cells they encounter, or travel to Mars to inspect the surface for life.
- VR also enables students to explore 500 different possible careers. I imagine a module where children share their newest passion each month, sharing videos (or VR experiences) and explaining what they love and what they’ve learned.
i.e. Want to be an electric, autonomous vehicle mechanic at age 15? Throw on a demonetized VR module and learn by doing, testing your prototype iterations at almost zero cost and with no risk of harming others. Want to be a plasma physicist and play around with a virtual nuclear fusion reactor? Now you’ll be able to simulate results and test out different tweaks, logging Smart Educational Record credits in the process.
