A team of tech-savvy high school students developed this virtual reality platform to bring field trips to classrooms that couldn't afford traditional excursions. Using 360-degree cameras, 3D modeling, and interactive programming, they created immersive educational experiences of local historical sites, nature reserves, and scientific facilities. Their platform is now used by elementary schools throughout the district, particularly benefiting schools in underserved communities.
