Using Children’s Literature to teach Engineering:<\/strong> G-Drive<\/a><\/p>\n

In The Runaway Bunny,<\/em> Baby Bunny keeps trying to run away, and Mama Bunny must figure out ways to find him! Using the theme of cause and effect, students must work with partners to design and create a container that Mama Bunny can use to safely and successfully carry her bunny wherever she goes. Learn how we use this idea and more to inspire elementary students to be engineers.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the complex ethical and technical issues associated with the development and implementation of new media and technology (e.g. Virtual Reality) into K-12 curriculum (e.g., British Columbia\u2019s new\u00a0ADST framework<\/a>)?<\/p>\n

How might educational\u00a0VR\u00a0experiences be designed to create powerful, accessible, and personal\u00a0learning opportunities in\u00a0K-12\u00a0classrooms?<\/p>\n

Introducing\u00a0Oculus Medium<\/a>\u00a0a virtual sculpting tool that allows you\u00a0to access various sculpting tools and manipulate clay-like material into different sizes, shapes, textures, and colors to\u00a0magically create anything you\u00a0can imagine. Users can easily interact\/create together and share their creative process with other people in the same virtual\u00a0environment.<\/p>\n

Introducing\u00a0Microsoft HoloLens<\/a>\u00a0where VR technology becomes more personal and can adapt to the ways humans\u00a0communicate, learn, and create. Holograms can\u00a0improve the way we\u00a0do everyday activities, and enable us\u00a0to do things we’ve never done before.\u00a0For education,\u00a0HoloLens<\/a>\u00a0can help to make incredible leaps forward in productivity, collaboration, and innovation. See how VR\u00a0transforms the way Case Western Reserve University teaches anatomy and transforms our understanding of the human body.\u00a0Watch as 30 high school girls try out the HoloLens device during\u00a0a\u00a0Holographic Academy<\/a>\u00a0developer education session at\u00a0DigiGirlz, a Microsoft YouthSpark program that helps girls and young women learn about careers in\u00a0technology.<\/p>\n
