W.R. Mcneill receives funding to purchase VR devices

BOWLING GREEN Ky.-Students may not be able to take field trips like before, but students of a certain elementary school will get to travel, just in a different way.

W.R. McNeill Elementary will receive $9,900 to purchase Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality devices for the students. This grant is coming from the Kentucky Society for Technology in Education.

These devices are often thought of to be useful in subjects like science and social studies, but school staff are looking forward to using these sets for a variety of purposes.

During the pandemic, the devices can even allow the kids go on virtual trips from the safety of the classroom. School staff are thrilled about the endless possibilities.
