Step into the frontlines of climate change with immersive virtual reality. Students explore the most pressing environmental issues affecting our planet — from urban pollution to the loss of polar habitats — understanding the science behind climate change and what we can all do about it.
The Climate Change VR workshop puts students inside the environments being most affected by our changing climate. Rather than reading statistics, children stand on melting ice caps, explore bleached coral reefs, and witness the impact of deforestation first-hand through 360° virtual reality.
KS1 students explore how weather and seasons are changing, and what animals need to survive. KS2 students investigate the greenhouse effect, carbon cycles, and human impact on ecosystems. Every session connects science with real-world action students can take.
Book a full-day visit and choose a different VR topic for every year group — making it super specific to each class's curriculum and exceptional value for money.
Each session includes a Virtual Reality segment where students are transported into immersive environments. Using class sets of VR headsets, children explore 360° recreations of scientific environments — from standing on melting ice caps to walking among dinosaurs.
Explore how rising CO2 levels are making our planet hotter, disrupting weather patterns and making life harder for plants, animals and people. Students see the scale of emissions from cars and aviation in an immersive cityscape.
VR SceneWitness how warmer, drier conditions are making wildfires more frequent and devastating. Students explore fire-ravaged landscapes in the US, Australia and the Amazon, seeing how habitats are destroyed.
VR SceneExperience how heavier rainfall and extreme weather are causing more frequent flooding in the UK. Students explore how barriers, drainage systems and river management help protect communities.
VR SceneSee first-hand how cutting down forests accelerates climate change by removing trees that absorb CO2. Students explore how deforestation destroys habitats and harms local communities.
VR SceneTravel the globe to see how climate change affects wildlife — from koalas in Australia to elephants in Africa, jaguars in the Amazon and deer in North America. Students understand the real impact on ecosystems.
VR SceneExplore how water, air and land pollution damages ecosystems and harms wildlife. Students investigate fertiliser run-off, fossil fuel emissions and landfill sites to understand the full picture of human impact on Earth.
VR SceneStudents can explain the greenhouse effect and how human activity affects Earth's climate systems.
Students develop genuine concern for ecosystems and species affected by climate change.
Students learn to use evidence and data to understand environmental trends and make predictions.
Students leave with practical actions they can take to make a difference in their school and community.
