Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education 2020
Pre-conference Immersive Experiences
One of the
amazing things about virtual environments is how easy it is to travel to
interesting locations. Who else wishes they could teleport in the
physical world? It is so easy to take a tour and play anywhere in
virtual environments…
The Science Circle (SC) provides immersive experiences and focuses on Science & Education; Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Art, and current events like wildfires. Areas on and above the island are accessible via a teleport system and multi-lingual, explanatory signage.
Past Science Circle presentations are available via mini-theatres.
Includes a 30 minute “Question and Answer” about the Corona Virus in our auditorium at 7 AM PDT
Come play a game, solve a problem, and engage in hands-on learning with virtual world education leaders.
No need to sign up, simply come and learn!
