Outreach

From April to September of 2017, our MINT (Molecular Interactions using New Technologies) VR education gaming platform has been used for several outreach events, summer camps and tours covering attendees from K-12 all the way to retirement communities. During these events, we highlight research and educational simulations that were performed at the Envision Center to run multiple stations in parallel. These interactive experiences provide opportunities to try out the different simulations and technologies while promoting engagement and learning.
