11th Annual Innovation Institute

In this immersive session, participants will explore the fundamentals of creating 3D objects using external design software and incorporating them into virtual reality experiences. Attendees will learn essential tools and techniques for designing, sculpting, and manipulating 3D models and how to import and optimize these creations for use in VR. Whether you are a beginner or looking to enhance your expertise, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to design 3D objects outside of VR, load them into headsets, and bring your ideas to life in virtual spaces.

Immersive technology offers interactive and immersive three-dimensional environments that extend learning beyond the physical classroom to engage students in an unprecedentedly imaginable way. During this session, participants will discover how the cutting-edge technology of Virtual Reality (VR) can seamlessly integrate into various subject areas to enhance student learning and engagement. Attendees will hear about our successes and challenges when implementing VR integration school-wide. During the hands-on workshop, participants will:

• Explore the VR tools and platform.
• Discuss best practices for integrating VR into lesson plans.
• Learn real examples of VR applications used for an array of learning subjects.
