Sometimes all the great equipment in a makerspace can be intimidating. That is why @PLYMC offers the Maker Academy program, a monthly opportunity for patrons to be led through a different activity to explore the vast equipment the makerspace offers. More: https://buff.ly/3HUimi1

@dssctr & I presented “Engaging Users with VR” for @FLVirtualCampus. We used @spatialxr to explain VR & offer ideas to show it’s potential for education, esp. exploring mockups of outer space, art museums, avatar journalists, science labs, & more.
