The Project

       Some things are difficult to visualize unless you already know and understand them. This can be a problem in education when students don't have the knowledge or experiences that help them relate to the topic studied. Help us tackle this problem by using this emerging technology and bringing virtual reality to our STEM lab.
      Students can go on adventures and virtual field trips and explore stem-related careers with the Oculus.  Imagine students joining Mission ISS and becoming an astronaut and exploring life inside the International Space Station.
      Imagine students exploring human anatomy and dismantling, rotating, and arranging different parts of a human. Imagine students traveling back in time and experiencing slavery and fighting for Civil Rights in a virtual world and becoming part of the story instead of just sitting back and watching. Imagine students touring any planet they wish, the moon, and the stars! The possibilities are endless and the knowledge gained is even greater!
Help me bring these experiences to our
STEM lab here at our elementary!

      Your generosity is much appreciated! The charging stations and Oculus VR headsets have been unboxed, charged, and connected to the school Wi-Fi. The students were so excited to try them out! They've already been catching some pretty big bass and bragging about it on Bait, and rocking out on Beat Saber by slashing the beats! Several took a thrilling ride on Epic Rollercoasters! Some played some Major League Baseball and hit many home runs! These kids will have many experiences that they'd not otherwise ever have thanks to your donation! Your investment in today's youth will have an everlasting impact! Imagine all the skills and experiences that they will now have when they leave Hope Elementary! It gave me goosebumps to witness their excitement and energy! I can't even begin to imagine how this will enlighten them. Thank you so much!

With gratitude,
