Bridging the Gap Between the Parks and the Classroom

Student: Caleb Johnston

Community Partner: UNF Institute of Environmental Research and Education, Communities in Schools, Timucuan Parks Foundation

This project targeted “Title I” elementary schools with 100% economically disadvantaged students, who lack awareness of Jacksonville’s unique parks. Parks 360 will help bridge the gap between the parks and the students by using immersive virtual reality (VR) technology to transport them to their local parks.
