Episode 12: Is Virtual Reality a Reality For Education Now?

Marc is joined by designer / developer and *renowned
technoculturalist*, Joe Saavedra of Planeta, a NY-based R&D
company working across digital platforms. And Chelien Brown,
Learning Design Coordinator at Mouse, and NY-based STEM educator,
content creator, and youth developer. From Chelien: how does he
experiment with VR as a creative tool for learners in middle and
high school? Learn about Joe's pathway from Alto Sax to leading
large-scale hardware and software projects in VR and beyond.
Together, leveraging Joe's expertise, the group winds up on a
shopping spree, to discover the cost of one full VR setup that a
school or learning org might incorporate into their space. Are we
closer to the moment when "VR for learning" is accessible for
all?
