IRS990PF/SummaryOfDirectChrtblActyGrp/Description1Txt0In August 2016, Virtual Science Center hosted three days of Design Kick-off Meetings to begin the design and development of the organization's primary program, a hands-on science exhibit about virtual reality. The design team attended demos at Oculus VR and met several leading experts in the field. They spent 3 days developing the primary messages for the exhibit, researching and discussing ways to approach the scientific content. The team also reviewed current technology, tools and methods for presenting virtual reality from an inquiry-based, experiential exhibit format. This program-related activity included a team of seven people, including two from VSC.
IRS990PF/SummaryOfDirectChrtblActyGrp/Description2Txt0In September 2016, Virtual Science Center hosted (4) focus groups of potential visitors; parents, teachers and middle and high school students. Participants were given virtual reality demos and then asked questions about what they know about virtual reality, and what they might like to learn. The focus groups were moderated by CDC Evaluation and a full Front End Evaluation Report was generated to guide and inform the exhibit development team in program development. The events served 30 people and were invaluable in helping educate the team about our target audiences.
IRS990PF/SummaryOfDirectChrtblActyGrp/Description3Txt0Virtual Science Center invited families of middle and high school students to participate in a Science of Virtual Reality Demonstrations at the Tech Musuem on March 25, 2016. Participants had a chance make Google Cardboard VR viewers, learn about the science of perception, and try some of the latest virtual reality headsets--Gear VR and Oculus Rift (which was not yet available to the public.) We also distributed a questionnaire about what participants wanted to learn in an exhibit about the science of virtual reality as a starting point for planning the exhibit, and took photos for use in promotional materials and website for Virtual Science Center. Served 35 people.
