Discover how to revolutionize STEM learning through the power of interactive kits, multimedia, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR). This session introduces creative ways to merge hands on exploration with cutting edge technology, transforming afterschool programs into immersive experiences that spark innovation and critical thinking. Participants will dive into real examples of STEM kits paired with VR labs, AR overlays, and interactive digital tools that bring science, technology, engineering, and math concepts to life. We will explore strategies to seamlessly integrate these tools into out of school environments, even on a budget. Attendees will leave with practical resources, bold ideas, and a blueprint for creating future ready learning spaces that inspire curiosity, problem solving, and creativity in every child.
