In this fun student conversation from the ASU FOLC Fest, Omkar, Ram, and Jiya (members of a student VR club) from Gary K. Herberger Young Scholars Academy, led by PhD candidate Frank Liu share the transformative potential of virtual reality in education. Through engaging anecdotes and shared experiences, they discuss how VR technology enables immersive learning experiences beyond traditional classroom constraints, highlighting projects from virtual science experiments to a flight simulator that won a school science fair. The group's journey illustrates not just the technical skills gained but the profound impact of VR on fostering creativity, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of subjects among students. This discussion offers inspiration and practical advice for integrating emerging technologies into learning environments to make education more accessible and engaging for all.
