    • Overall Aim: To use cutting-edge technology to facilitate learning in non-
    standard classroom environments

    • Virtual Field Trip Program for students with limited resources, including
    hospitalised paediatric patients or those unable to experience nature

    • Summer 2018: Gathered footage from 32 different National Parks in the
    United States to develop interdisciplinary curricula with a STEM focus

    • Hands-on lab activities covering topics such as: deposition, uplift &
    erosion; desert adaptations; local flora and fauna; human geography and
    anthropology

    • Demonstrate curated field trips on inexpensive, readily available
    technology e.g. Google Cardboard Virtual Reality headsets
