Description

Transport to a development environment beyond the limits of reality as an Immersive Innovator! In this virtual reality (VR) focused camp, students will use VR creation tools to design immersive worlds. They will learn the basics of modern VR development, building experiences not only on a computer, but also through the lenses of a Meta Quest 3 headset! Campers will gain programming and 3D-modeling experience as they build their virtual world—one limited only by what can be imagined! Each day of camp will also offer the chance to try out state-of-the-art VR applications, including the VR version of the acclaimed planetarium simulator, Stellarium. Whether a student participated in last year’s Virtual Universe camp or they’re just starting to explore virtual reality, this camp is great for all skill levels.

KOSC Summer Camp Registration Basics:

  • Camps have a maximum enrollment and many fill quickly each year. Register early and avoid the waiting list.
  • Early Bird Tuition cost is good through May 31. Add $25 when registering after May 31.
  • Early drop off (8 am) and late pick up (4 pm) are available for a $15/day. This can be added during initial registration or closer to the camp's start date.
  • Refunds are available (less a $15 administration fee) if a student withdraws 14 days prior to the start of camp. In case of cancellation due to insufficient enrollment, participants will be notified one week in advance and will receive a full refund.
  • At checkout, there is an option to pay by check, if preferred. When sending a check, please make it out to Kopernik Observatory & Science Center and include a note specifying where the funds should be applied (especially for those registering for multiple camps). Checks must be sent to Kopernik at the time of registration and pay for the camp in full. Please contact Kopernik directly with questions or concerns.
  • A welcome email will be sent approximately one week before the first day of camp providing specifics on the class and a letter from the teacher.
