Students can learn the basics of programming while creating amazing projects in virtual reality. University freshman Alexander Strizhnev demonstrates how easy it is to organize such an event.
Varwin Education was selected from among more than 500 advanced start-ups to be part of a pilot program. Together, Varwin helped them to test some of the most innovative solutions in the sphere of education.
Varwin was invited to be a part of Learning Development with VR Projects, an experimental program developed by the Moscow Innovation Agency in cooperation with School № 1329.
Varwin Education recently teamed up with Quantorium, a technopark outfitted with high-tech equipment for kids. Quantorium was interested in finding ways for students to work remotely on complex projects and curious if students could stay motivated enough to complete a three-week task.
It was called The VR Developer: a Career for the Future, and 250 students developed their own VR applications under the supervision of teachers and tutors. Some of the best apps from this event are being used in classrooms today.
This project was created by schoolchildren during VR hackathon that we held in the autumn of 2020. Children realised several chemical experiments that are dangerous to conduct in real conditions. One of the most exciting things about VR is that this technology allows children to conduct "real" chemical experiments and practise their theoretical knowledge.
