Students will take their first steps into a larger, virtual world where anything is possible! They will learn about the past, present, and future of augmented and virtual reality (AR & VR) while discovering how the technologies work. Students will receive a VR headset which they can decorate and make their own. Using an AR/VR creation tool, campers will design a virtual environment that they can explore up close using a Kopernik iPad (AR) or their VR headset. Altogether, they will gain programming and 3-D modeling experience as they build this virtual world—one limited only by what can be imagined! Each day of camp will also offer the chance to test out a state-of-the-art AR or VR experience including a flight aboard the ISS and even a trip to the Moon! Tuition includes a $20 materials fee. Camps have a maximum enrollment and many fill quickly each year. Register early to avoid disappointment. Register before June 1 to avoid a late registration fee. Early drop off (8 am) and late pick up (4 pm) are available for $15/day. Email registration@kopernik.org for information.
