Sendhil Mullainathan, a professor of computation and behavioral science at the University of Chicago, MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient, thinks lessons taught in VR are much stickier than things that we read or listen to: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Mission to Mars VR summer camps are a huge success! Kids love them. Yesterday, we focused on evolution from Mars and theorized whether we, humans, could be considered "Martians". Asteroids on Mars: youtube.com/watch?v=pFZVwhL3… Discovering bacteria: youtube.com/watch?v=0AlC7d3X…
Yesterday we launched a new camp program. Kids learn coding and creating 3D environments and then immerse themselves in Mission to Mars: lnkd.in/ezhy2v8
VR is a collaborative environment, where students move around, interact, and this is before the storytelling part, where they take the lessons that they have learned, turn them around, and teach to other people: youtu.be/3KALe50QDyU
Our first immersive Mission to Mars summer camp was a success. Next summer camp the week of July 19th will include both coding and 3D modeling for VR and learning in VR #vr #vrlearning. visit univirtual.academy/camps

Day 2 of Mars mission: One group figured out Mars was rusty by examining an asteroid: youtu.be/TJo_4rzY9Z8 While another group came to the same conclusion by observing a crashed spaceship: youtu.be/KrzpvHqSMM4
This was Day 1 of Mission to Mars! We are learning the basics of survival on Mars, including building a winning team

We believe in the power of Virtual Reality to enhance education in many ways - but don't just take our word for it. Hear for yourself, what parents are saying about UniVirtual Academy:
In Economics Level 1, students will learn about basic economic concepts such as transactions (goods and services), markets, buyers, and sellers and will come to understand market participant. univirtual.academy/courses/e… #UniVirtualAcademy #VR #Education #VirtualLearning
With #VR from #UniVirtualAcademy students are able to present a successful government project during their economics class, building on their understanding of opportunity costs and cost-benefit analysis. youtube.com/watch?v=fsgHKJkP… #UniVirtualAcademy #VR #Education #VirtualLearning
Visiting both micro (inside of a living organism) and macro (space) words, travelling to the bottom of the ocean or in time offer tremendous opportunities in studying not only STEAM but also humanities. univirtual.academy/why-vr #UniVirtualAcademy #VR #Education #VirtualLearning
Did you know Mars is home to the largest volcano in the solar system? Whether you dream of one day traveling to Mars or just want to learn more about our celestial neighbor, this course is for you. univirtual.academy/courses/m… #UniVirtualAcademy #VR #Education #VirtualLearning
"Allowing students to engage in virtual reality experiences early on gives them a head start into building awareness through verbal and non-verbal communication, not only for themselves but also for others.”" forbes.com/sites/sap/2021/05…

Fight the 'summer slide' and give your students a head start on next year with out -- SUMMER CAMPS 2021! A full 2 hours of live instruction and peer collaboration every day! Learn more: univirtual.academy/camps #UniVirtualAcademy #VR #Education #VirtualLearning
Each group presents their VR story to the other group and receives feedback from their peers. Students reflect on the lesson by describing what they learned, what they did well, and what they would do differently next time. univirtual.academy/why-vr #UnivirtualAcademy #EdTech #VR
VR not only increases presence, focus and concentration, it also increases student motivation and engagement. Students are excited to do it, much more than sitting in another zoom class or reading a textbook! univirtual.academy/why-vr #UniVirtualAcademy #VR #EDTech
