Why VR Makerspace?

3

Participants can optimize their level of creativity due to the open-source nature of Cospaces.

Creativity

Immersive Learning

The virtual reality component of the Maker course allows the participants to literally “become” a part of their created world.

Efficient Makerspace

To quote Dr. Debora Lui, “The use of existing infrastructure can reduce the cost of owning a makerspace” (April 12th lecture, reference to library makerspaces)

Grade: 4th to 8th

4

Students will understand ...

1. how to make virtual reality content (storytelling)
2. water mammals’ ecosystem (science learning)
3. Computational thinking (coding skills)

​

​

​

Students will be able to…

1. learn principle of how virtual reality works
2. Blockery coding to animate the characters
3. Understand the habit of water mammals

Discussion Question

8

• What is VR? How does VR work? Pros and Cons to use VR?
• Why did you choose that character and animation? Science related?
• What kinds of features did you use for this content? Manual coding or auto-generated feature?
• Why the water mammal move like that way? Is there any reason?
• What was the most challenge you confront?
