Virtual Reality at SHS!

As you may know, STEM (science, technology, engineering & math) courses are an important part of our curriculum at Salisbury High.  As part of this, we are so excited to offer Virtual Reality to our students again.

Virtual Reality is a project-based course that ultimately requires students to solve problems.  The problems that are posed to students require them to apply information that they have previously learned, integrate skills that they have developed, and apply real world experiences in creating stunning visual representation of data.  The course is ultimately self paced for students and they determine their own learning goals with guidance from the instructor.  Students are at the forefront of completing various tasks with the instructor providing "just in time" assistance.  Students more often seek help from their fellow students leading a greater level of collaboration.  This is excellent preparation for college, the workforce and beyond!  Additionally, the skills learned in this course will provide necessary background for students interested in Game/Art/Design as well as many other fields.

As we approach the start of the school year, look for more information about this course & others on our school website.  Have an Incredible Week and Go Hornets!
