Speaker
Description
Participants will engage in a workshop where they will learn more about the emerging technology of mixed reality. They will be taught about the path the presenter took in their research and exploration of Indigenous World Heritage Sites in New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana within the United States to create interactive curriculum units using mixed-reality technology to cultivate early college high school students' skills in math, primary source art, and science. There will be a focus on bringing together cultural heritage, architecture, 3D art forms, with a societal impact through the technology. Attendees will be able to view how the technology can be used.
