University Of Pretoria Brings Virtual Reality STEM Lessons To Schools
Story 3
The University of Pretoria’s Sci-Enza Science Centre is bringing immersive science experiences directly to under-resourced schools in and around Pretoria.
Through virtual reality, learners can explore topics such as solar energy, wind turbines, hydroelectricity and marine life without needing access to specialised facilities.
During a recent visit to TransOranje School for the Deaf, learners used VR headsets to explore how renewable energy is produced and converted into electricity.
The programme is being expanded through partnerships with the Department of Basic Education to reach more schools in the Tshwane South District.
