Virtual Reality (VR) is a realistic simulation of an environment, including 3D graphics, by a computer system using interactive soft
ware and hardware.
Augmented Reality (AR) superimposes a computer-generated image onto a user's
view of the real world
Mixed Reality (MR) real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time.

Black Mirror is a great TV show that highlights our “collective unease about our modern world.”
Technology is the villain!
When a screen is off it is like a “black mirror”, so perhaps it is a warning?
Funny thing: we are watching the show on our screens!

Workshops filled very quickly, so we had to create
3 different sessions: 2 for homeschoolers and the
other for the public.
Check out our Maker Boot Camp documentary: https://youtu.be/kO3_NRWHZ9E
The cool thing about Makerspaces is that you will have a space to
include interesting technologies that are NOT even invented yet.

Are social networks REALLY about connecting with people? Are we presenting anything meaningful or is the general public becoming mindless automatons reposting the “news” over and over again? Are we being pulled into “like behavior?” Pretty soon we’ll have thought bubbles floating over our head and there will be no mystery to our lives.
Stay informed!
