The ocean becomes the classroom.
Instead of only reading about marine environments, learners enter one. They explore a virtual reef, interact with marine life and investigate the consequences of plastic pollution through guided activity.
Rescue
Help marine life and understand the effect of human choices.
Investigate
Encounter coral damage, microplastics and pollution systems.
Act together
Take part in environmental clean-up activities, including shared experiences.
Learn comfortably
Use supported comfort and accessibility options for different learners.
Reflect
Connect the immersive activity to facilitated discussion and evaluation.
Pilot evidence, in context
Measure more than the “wow”.
