It was great working with Digital Promise to capture young creatives learning new VR technology for their class project!
Students at the Utica Center for Science and Industry in Sterling Heights, Michigan produced an award-winning 360 film called “The Tour.” In it, students take over the classroom on the eve of a standardized test, leading viewers on a tour of their unique educational experience and explaining why creativity should be emphasized. This behind-the-scenes look at their film shares an example of powerful learning where the teacher takes a step back and allows students to guide their own creative process.
