GRADE 6

Grade 6 Students were inspired to think about the use of

technology to enhance the way we learn. Students were

introduced to Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)

which can expand our senses and the range of environments we

can interact with – the possibilities are almost limitless. In

this session students explored how AR/VR can transform how

they learn about the world, from manipulating mathematics to

visiting volcanoes. They understand how AR/VR will help them
learn skills for specific jobs, and how AR/VR can help every
student to be included in learning experiences.

GRADE 7

Grade 7 students were enabled to explore the future

of mobility by examining the concept of terraforming,

and researching UAE’s vision to push the frontiers of

knowledge and explore new worlds with the National

Space Programme. In this session, students considered

why humanity has always looked to the stars and is

choosing to explore space. They worked in teams to

design solutions on how to create a liveable habitat on

Mars by transforming the surface, before reflecting on

what makes a good society and how to replicate one on

Mars.
