VirtuaLab: Expanding STEAM Learning through VR
The goal of PROTO Invention Factory’s project VirtuaLab is to develop a virtual reality (VR)-based educational tool designed to support STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics).
As project outcomes:
VR Simulations
1–2 interactive VR simulations will be created, enabling students to learn and experiment with various scientific and technological concepts.
Teacher Trainings
Digital Handbook (Playbook)
Partnership
The project is funded by the Erasmus+ program .
The VirtuaLab game content is developed in close cooperation between Proto, Enversed, and Tallinn University. Tallinn University’s School of Educational Sciences ensures alignment with the Estonian national curriculum (grades 7–9) and provides a methodological framework for teachers to use VR simulations in class. The School of Digital Technologies evaluates the clarity, engagement, and educational value of the VR experience through focus groups with teachers and test classes.
