About this Event
Discover the Future of School Field Trips — Without Leaving Campus
Join us at Wilson C. Riles Middle School for an exciting, hands-on VR Field Trip Demo built specifically for Sacramento-area educators and school leaders. Experience firsthand how virtual reality can transform science education, increase student engagement, and align with California’s NGSS and CAST science testing requirements — all from the convenience of your own school gymnasium.
Hosted by HEROES Virtual Reality, this free showcase highlights how immersive, standards-aligned VR experiences can deliver the impact of a traditional field trip — without buses, permission slips, or lost instructional time.
Event Highlights: 🔭
We’ll guide you through two classroom-ready modules:
- The Solar System 🌌 – take students on a journey through space, from the sun to the farthest planets
- The International Space Station 🛰 – explore STEM concepts through a free-roam tour of orbital life and systems
Each module is delivered through a fleet of 40 standalone VR headsets, allowing an entire class to participate together. It’s affordable, flexible, and scalable — perfect for schools of any size.
