Phoenix elementary school brings science to life with virtual reality

VR tech is now used in Villa De Paz Elementary to teach science, replacing some wet labs.
The Pendergast district partnered with Arizona State University and Dreamscape to implement VR across schools.
VR field trips can transport students to places like Rome or the moon, expanding learning beyond buses.
Teachers say students are more eager to attend school and engage with work since VR integration began.
Villa De Paz started VR lessons first, then expanded the program to all 12 district schools.
The program blends student-led research with immersive virtual experiences for science education.
The VR initiative is a collaboration among a district, a university, and an industry partner.
The program aims to make science learning more accessible and engaging for students.
District officials describe VR as expanding opportunities beyond traditional classrooms.
