IRL Labs partnered with Nazareth College and Career Prep (formerly Holy Family Academy) and the EDGE program to introduce SimpleVR as a design tool to create a virtual tour of the school. EDGE is a STEAM initiative at HFA that meets weekly and help teens: explore game design in an integrated entrepreneurship track that connects school learning with real-world projects; develop technology for a cause that is meaningful to them and to their communities; grow through a transformative creative experience; and empower teens to be makers, not consumers of technology.
