Transforming Education & Career Readiness with VR

Friday August 14, 2026 TBA

New England Institute of Technology

This workshop introduces educators and CTE leaders to immersive learning through VRCORE Education: a gym-scale, multiplayer VR platform that transforms ordinary school spaces into interactive career and curriculum labs. Participants will learn how VRCORE brings students together inside shared, multiplayer virtual environments where they actively explore complex concepts, experience career-connected learning, and engage with curriculum in a memorable, guided, and highly interactive way. The session will also include a hands-on component, where a smaller group of attendees can experience VRCORE directly using headsets. This interactive demonstration will show how students move through shared virtual environments together.
