Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are revolutionizing the way people learn, communicate, design, and interact with digital content. As immersive technologies become increasingly integrated into education, business, healthcare, and entertainment, understanding how to create and utilize these environments is becoming a valuable future skill.

This hands-on course introduces participants to the exciting world of immersive technologies through the use of innovative platforms such as Delightex (formerly CoSpaces Edu). Students will explore the principles of virtual and augmented reality while designing, building, and programming their own interactive digital experiences.

By combining creativity, storytelling, 3D design, and coding, participants will develop immersive environments that can be experienced through VR headsets and mobile AR applications, gaining practical skills in one of the fastest-growing technological sectors.

• Introduce participants to Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and immersive technologies.
• Develop creativity and digital storytelling skills through 3D content creation.
• Explore spatial computing concepts and interactive design principles.
• Learn to create virtual environments using Delightex and related platforms.
• Develop coding skills through interactive VR/AR projects.
• Encourage collaboration, innovation, and creative problem-solving.
• Explore educational and professional applications of immersive technologies.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles and applications of VR and AR technologies.
• Design and develop immersive virtual environments.
• Create interactive experiences using block-based programming.
• Integrate digital storytelling elements into VR/AR projects.
• Test and evaluate immersive experiences using VR and AR devices.
• Apply design thinking methodologies to immersive technology projects.
• Demonstrate increased confidence in emerging digital technologies.

• Secondary school students (12+)
• STEM and digital creativity enthusiasts
