With this new technology in the classroom, students are able to visualize complex concepts and perform interactions to help them improve their engagement.
Allow students to focus on learning with zero distractions through immersive VR experiences.
Remove the physical risk associated with dangerous lab experiments.
Save money on a physical lab with cost-effective VR labs.
Increase student engagement and educational outcomes by talking to students in their own language: technology.
Remove spatial limitations and offer students multiple learning environments with portable VR labs.
Our current VR learning experiences cover Physics, Biology, Math, Anatomy and Chemistry, with a host of new experiences under development.
The VR learning experiences are designed and developed in close collaboration with teachers/professors who are experts in the subject matter.
This experience allows students to navigate through a forest to explore, discover and learn about the different families of fungi and the environments in which they grow.
This experience takes students into a Lab where they have to follow voice-guided, step-bystep instructions to prepare for a fetal pig dissection. The main objective of this experience is to help students:
This experience takes students into a Lab where they can manipulate various controls to learn how diseases impact the heart. This experience helps students:
This experience allows students to perform experiments with the phenomenon of refraction and reflection of light.
This experience allows students to perform experiments with the phenomenon of refraction and reflection of light on liquids, by using a massive pool.
This experience immerses students into a VR train station where they can navigate around to experience the Doppler Effect, the phenomenon that occurs when the frequency of sound changes because of motion of either the sound source or the observer.
This experience takes students into a VR cave where they can navigate around and view how bats use echolocation to navigate in their environments.
This experience takes students into a submarine where they emit sounds at different Hz, watch the wave bounce off an object and record the shifted frequency visible in the sonar view, calculate the velocity of the object, and determine if it is moving toward the submarine or away from it.
This experience takes students into a Serial Circuit Board Lab where they have access to different types of batteries, components and activities to run experiments.
This experience takes students into a Circus, where they learn how to adjust the launch velocity and launch angle, as well as how to move the safety mat, so the human cannonball can land safely on it. This experience helps students:
This experience takes students into a Chemistry Lab where they can experience mixing different types of metals, solutions and other elements. The experience includes 4 different activities.
This experience enables students to bond different atoms together to build 3D molecules, then check if they did so correctly. This experience helps students:
This experience takes students into a Skate Park where they learn about kinetic and potential energy. This experience helps students:
As far as the student response to it, it's been extremely enthusiastic, it reinforces what they're learning in the classroom but also gives them a way to kind of make it more memorable.
As a student, the Bisbee Science Lab has enlightened me on things that normally would not be taught in Bisbee's public school system. I had access to things like virtual reality and hands-on learning activities. I now realize, after experiencing what the science center has to offer through volunteering there weekly, science is greatly needed in our community and our rapidly developing world. I learned that science can be more than just a core class at school in an indoor classroom, and can stretch far beyond the realm of notes and textbooks.
In this day and age, trying to get the students to pay attention for longer than 10 or 15 minutes in class when you’re doing traditional lecturing & problem solving, has created quite a challenge. The students nowadays want to see the technology which they know and love applied in the educational space, because it reinforces the concepts that we hit in the classroom.
We’re very excited to give our students this opportunity for AR. They have an opportunity to do labs they would not normally be able to do because of costs, or hazards, or things like that… It’s a lot of fun for them and it excites them in science learning.
