The Mixed Reality Digital Resource

Welcome to the latest resource from STEMunity, last year we were delighted to partner with the RAEng and produce the online STEM Escape Rooms, which reached over 25,000 young people last year. This year we have been working with the Academy to develop this Mixed Reality experience linked to the latest RAEng resource, TIE: Water. The purpose of this resource is to give students an experience of mixed reality, to immerse them in STEM environments and let them use technology to augment their reality. This resource has been designed to be accessible to all and to demonstrate how we can utilise technology to inspire young people to explore the STEM industry.
