Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

The most successful learning experiences for our students have been those in which they participate actively in designing them based on the 5 Es instruccional model they constantly experience in their classes. This year, two 5th-graders decided that after having particpated in ISTE projects a couple of times, they wanted to work on their own project focused on improving learning not only for them but also for the rest of elementary school students and that it could go beyond their school setting reaching any student who wants to learn Math while having fun using Virtual Reality and staying engaged in their own learning process.

Kids learn better while exploring. We don´t want to stay in our classroom, we want to go beyond.
