Really proud of our team @ExponentDestiny and thank you to our sponsors/donors, the teams that participated from over 70 countries, and the @ITU for their support.
The competition has come to an end after 12+ months! We at Exponential Destiny are excited to share all 16 finalists performing teams! All participants worked hard on creating their VR experiences to build awareness, empathy, and education for their selected United Nations SDG.
This past November we completed our first workshop at Thomas Jefferson High School in south-central LA. To prep for the workshop, each student completed a paper where they described a role model in their own lives, which was shared before immersing into the VR experiences.
Together we are hosting an outreach program in LA, partnering with teachers and school admin to bring into the public schools a workshop in which we put over 100 students in VR headsets to experience the personal stories of amazing role models and change makers in their community
We at @ExponentDestiny have partnered with the Getty Museum’s Getty Conservation Institute here in Los Angeles to translate their incredible Human Atlas project [https://t.co/3UgnKcPVp8] into an immersive & experiential learning environment in Virtual Reality.
