The experience is given to Title I schools across Arizona at no cost
A local nonprofit arts and education organization is hoping to teach more children about Indigenous culture with immersive experiences they can have from their school's campus.
Through ACT ONE, the technology-forward group that operates in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona State University students spent a year and a half creating educational content that provides a 360º visual and audio journey of Indigenous arts, life, music, and more. The experience is given to Title I schools across the state at no cost, offering virtual field trip experiences to kids and teenagers who may otherwise not have a chance to learn from and experience them. The content is also available to other schools for a small fee.
ABC15 talked with some of the program directors and people involved in creating the virtual reality experiences.
