Course Detail: METO104 - METAVERSE, WEARABLE TECH & ENTREPRENEURSHIP: (Middle and High School) Live online


METAVERSE, WEARABLE TECH & ENTREPRENEURSHIP: What do the human body, music, and video games have in common? Wearable Technology. Students will have the opportunity to explore innovations from the realm of virtual reality and haptics while developing innovative ideas of their own. The world is constantly changing, especially in the midst of a pandemic, yet those influencing it the most are tech innovators of the world. Students will not only redefine themselves as innovators but future entrepreneurs with a plan.
