Dear teachers and students, If you are reading this and teach or have middle school aged kids then this project is for you. Well technically the kids, but it could spark some curiosity in yourself as well. Through this project students will be targeting three common core standards. The first a science standard; engineering design, from the students initial brainstorm after they are given their materials until to the actual creation of the modified VR, students are being asked to utilize design thinking to enable the their cardboard VR. Not only does this project ensure a successful solution, it also will enhance their knowledge of light waves. Meeting another science standard waves and properties. The VR works as a physical model that can be used to describe the function of optics. Optics is defined, in short, as a branch of physics that studies the behavior and properties of light. This includes the interaction light has with other matter; such as the magnifying glass used as eye pieces for the students cardboard VRs. Light reflecting vertically across the phone screen reads as one image for the viewer, ultimately transmitting a constant image to the iris. Our eyes take in a constant stream of screens projecting light and information. A culture that is constantly evolving with new technologies and the uses for that technology are growing and becoming more personalized. The ideas of the future will be technology bases; by creating VRs on a small scale in your classroom we will bring to light a new ever expanding field. Humans of the 21st century need to be ready to collaborate and create on new uses of this science, as you read this, med students are training for surgeries using VR and architects are reaching to greater heights in their virtual building realities. This assignment will facilitate creative, evaluated and a effective use of their new optics knowledge. To successfully pull of this project teachers should put students into groups of three. Inside the box will be a description of optics, a VR, extra resources and the prompt; how might we enhance optical illusions through a VR? Students will use design thinking to apply their knowledge of optics to create a working modified VR.
