VR: Urban Habitat
Weeks 6 - 10 (second half of term)
VR: Urban Habitat
In this immersive tech-meets-nature workshop, students design and code their own 3D urban habitats for local wildlife. They’ll research native species and sustainable design principles, then use virtual reality (VR) to bring their digital ecosystems to life.
Using 3D modelling and coding tools, students will simulate environmental factors like seasons and animal behavior to create interactive, eco-friendly outdoor spaces that support biodiversity.
What you’ll learn.
- The role of green infrastructure in urban sustainability
- Needs of native wildlife and biodiversity principles
- Skills in 3D design, coding, and VR technology
- Why we must create a safe place for wildlife in our cities
What you’ll do.
- Research local species and their habitats
- Create a 3D model of a sustainable urban ecosystem
- Code interactive elements that simulate real-world conditions
- Explore and present your design in augmented reality
What you’ll gain.
- Hands-on experience with emerging tech
- Knowledge of urban biodiversity and design thinking
- Confidence in presenting tech-based environmental solutions
- A future-focused view on how cities can coexist with nature
Suited for students in Years 3 - 6
Duration: 1.5 hrs x 5 weeks
Cost: $60 for only this program, or $100 if combined with Minecraft: Eco-home. The program is FREE with a NSW Creative Kids Voucher
We require students to bring:
- Device (iPad, Laptop, MacBook or Chromebook) + charger
