Virtual Reality at JOIST: Play VR & Express Yourself in Another Dimension

Creativity, learning, imagination and fun in a virtual environment of incredible possibilities. We play with VR and express ourselves in another dimension at JOIST!

Come and experience fantastic Virtual Reality worlds through the new educational activity of JOIST Innovation Park for children from 13 to 17 years old.

Children acquire unique interactive Virtual Reality experiences by playing with selected educational applications in our specially designed space. The instructor introduces children to basic concepts of 3D technology and Virtual Reality, their benefits, and their unique uses in science or other professional fields while guiding them to use VR masks safely.

The 21 available VR apps that kids can choose to play with a focus on the following:

• Creative expression: we let our imagination run wild and create 3D artworks, worlds and graffiti in a virtual environment.
• In Edutainment: We play the most popular Virtual Reality games with an educational character, according to our age (not including violent games).
• In sports: the best sports and dance simulations are at your disposal, at JOIST.
• In soft skills: We practice various soft skills through simulated scenarios and real-life situations.

During the activity, children develop their creativity, kinesthetic intelligence, visual-spatial skills, critical thinking and self-confidence.

Due to the limited number of seats, we encourage you to complete your registration in time.
