The teachers in the science department at NUHS recently gained VR technology earlier this year and will now begin using it for classes to advance learning. “Our hope is that we’re able to do labs that are too expensive or too dangerous to do in the classroom, and to view different models like the universe or the inside of a cell; things we learn about but don’t really get to see,” Mrs Brock said. “It’s another tool for us to use to teach students that learn better through seeing.”
Senior science student Lilith Aubart said, “I’m a fan of it. I think it’s a really cool way to both conserve materials that would be used in real labs as well as make certain things like dissections and the more complicated labs are more accessible to the general student population.” However, “they can cause a little motion sickness,” she said.
