Unbound Innovations XR, a grant funded by the Alliance with an eight year investment of $159K beginning in 2018. It embeds the immersive tools of Virtual and Augmented Reality into middle school academic and elective classes.
The power of Virtual Reality to provide students with an environment rich in visuals, original audio, and interactivity creates a memorable experience where they are being introduced to an immersive transformative education.
