STEAM month continues with a visit from Mr. Hay with Google! He showed the students how to use Google cardboard to view 360 photos and videos. Think Virtual Reality in a cardboard box! He then taught the students how to make their own project. The students were set loose with borrowed phones to take the 360 panoramic photos. They then converted them into the right format for the cardboard. Then they were able to enjoy their own creations as well as ones others have made. Mr. Hay emphasized the importance of being a Producer when it comes to technology and not just consuming the technology that others have made. Each student brainstormed ways they could use this technology to explore the world or help others. It was truly empowering to watch them transform from just thinking it was cool to understanding what they could do to make it even better. Thank you so much to Google and Mr. Hay for bringing this experience to our Little Longhorns. They won't soon forget!
