Immersive 3D STEAM Camps with Digverse Lab
This is an immersive science learning experience in 3D Virtual Scenery specifically designed for students in Grades 3–5. This project adopts an online merged offline learning model. In the online part, students enter the Virtual Scenery of the Eiffel Tower in Paris to observe specific scientific phenomena. In the offline part, students conduct hands-on experiments to explore the principles of the phenomena they saw in the scenery.
The model adopted for this Science education project is project-based learning (PBL). The ultimate task for the students is to produce an Eiffel Tower Tourism Proposal. Students need to demonstrate the scientific rigor, structural feasibility and unique tourism value of this building. The larger task will be divided into 4 sub-tasks. Students will play the roles of engineers (studying the materials and structure of the Eiffel Tower), photographers (studying the propagation of light and changes in shadows), conductors (using mathematical modeling to solve traffic congestion), and CEOs (reporting the plan to the Paris Tourism Bureau) at different stages of the project.
