• Question: if schools had virtual reality what would they use them for, i mean its a great idea but they would not do anything ... oh wait you would do history i guess but we are learning about WW1 and it would be horrible to visit the trenches.

      Good question! I wouldn’t use it to visit the trenches, but that is one way to help immerse yourself in history. I’m planning on using the money to buy a classrooms worth of virtual reality headsets, and then go out to lots of different schools and run sessions with them. In these sessions, I’d use them to show you exactly what is happening to the world with climate change – you can dive underwater and see coral reefs that are dying, or glaciers that are melting. It’s important because most of the big impacts of climate change aren’t affecting the UK – and I think it’s really important for everyone to see what is happening all around the world.
