Collaborate on grants!
We are collaborating with Durham School of the Arts and GrowingChange on a Prison Flipping project through a State Farm Youth Advisory Board grant.
With the help of the Virtual Reality Learning Experience, during the 2016-2017 academic year, eight high school students in the Game Art & Design concentration at Durham School of the Arts will work with youth participants in GrowingChange to design a virtual reality version of a flipped prison. This will help people visualize abandoned prison’s untapped potential.
