Description:

Where architecture meets virtual reality! 

Our exciting 1 week camp takes youth in grades 8 - 12 on a journey to FIRST learn about some of the city related problems in Vancouver and THEN channel their learning into hacking and building their own world using the Unity Engine. 

Unity is a 2D, 3D, VR, and AR development platform. Participants will explore Vancouver, expand their imagination, creativity, critical thinking skills, experiment with emergent virtual, mixed, and extended reality technologies, and engage in creating solutions that will make for a better world for all. 

Is virtual reality a vessel to solve real world problems ?? In OUR program, youth will have the chance to make their wildest dreams come true.

The main goal with our program is to nurture participants' passion and interest in architecture, cities and buildings, and help them build their skills by learning to use virtual and mixed reality technologies.
