Session Structure
1. Instructor Introduction
Each class begins with a short, age-appropriate overview led by a trained instructor. Students are introduced to the day’s topic, key anatomical structures, and the learning goals for the session. They also receive a guided walkthrough of the virtual lab environment to ensure they feel comfortable and ready to explore.
2. Self-Guided VR Exploration
Students put on their own VR headset that we provide and enter the virtual lab space.
With help from our built-in VR doctor audio guide, they can:
-
Explore full-body systems, organs, tissues and cellular level structures in 3D and via 2D scans like X-ray or MRI
-
Zoom, grab, rotate, and closely inspect virtual objects using their own hands
-
Trigger audio explanations and animations
This independent exploration allows learners to move at their own pace while building confidence and excitement about biology.
3. Instructor Q&A and Concept Review
After exploring, students remove their headsets for an interactive conversation with the instructor. This is a chance to check understanding, revisit important concepts, and clarify questions. The goal is to ensure that each student walks away with a solid grasp of the session’s key ideas.
4. Gamified VR Learning Activities
The session ends with light, playful VR learning games that reinforce everything students just discovered. Activities may include:
-
Rebuilding anatomical systems (skeletal, digestive, full-body) individually or in a team-based collaboration in a shared VR space.
-
Quiz-style challenges where students identify structures the VR doctor calls out
-
Gentle timed goals and score tracking to encourage focus and participation
These games are designed to be motivating, creating a fun environment where students learn by doing.
