As part of UniVRsal Access: Broadening Participation in Informal STEM Learning for Autistic Learners and Others through Virtual Reality <\/em>(2005447), a neurodiverse team from EdGE at 51²è¹Ý and Landmark College co-designed the VR experience Europa Prime<\/em>. Europa Prime<\/em> is intended to engage a broad audience, including players with sensory, attention, and\/or social differences, with astrobiology and other STEM learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Set in the future, the VR experience is fictional, but it builds from current space exploration efforts. NASA\u2019s Europa Clipper is scheduled to launch in October 2024; its mission: to determine whether there are places below the surface of Jupiter\u2019s icy moon, Europa, that could support life. In VR, we can explore what might come next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EdGE – https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/edge\/games-for-learning\/extended-reality<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 51²è¹Ý – UniVRsal Access: https:\/\/www.terc.edu\/projects\/univrsal-access<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n MXTreality: Europa Prime Blog – https:\/\/www.mxtreality.com\/blog\/categories\/europa-univrsal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
