XR is changing how we learn. Lorenzo Vallone, from the Award
winning studio Xennial Digital, sat down with us at VRX 2019 to
share their thirteen STEM education experiences, A Magic leap
climate
change visualization, and their social impact work in Guatemala and
Columbia. Xennial Digital won the award for the 2018 most
innovative company by the La Prensa newspaper.
The most unique part of Xennial Digital is how they are
partnering with schools to make high school students product
designers on their educational platform. This results
in a product that is made for students by students with expert
oversight and guidance. Their success is shown when students spend
forty minutes modifying variables
to observe and understand outcomes.
