Intro to Virtual Reality

Discover VR apps and games.

This course is perfect for students who are excited about virtual reality and want an easy introduction to exploring and creating in immersive worlds. The class is built around short activities, beginner-friendly apps, and guided discussions that help students understand what VR can do.

VR activities include visiting ancient cultures, soaring through space, and navigating environments from the ocean floor to the inside of a human cell. Students’ creations come to life around them as they paint and sculpt in 3D, experiment with simple modeling tools, and even venture into the world of Minecraft. Fairfax Collegiate provides computers and Meta Quest VR headsets for student use, and students work in pairs throughout the course.

At the end of the course, instructors upload photos and videos for families to access. Students leave with the confidence to keep exploring VR technology, creative tools, and interactive design.
