VirtuHS is a self-sustaining virtual reality education framework designed for high schools, built around the collaboration between teachers and students. The program uses a role-based model where students take on responsibilities such as developer, designer, researcher, or pedagogy lead, while teachers serve as both clients and mentors. Together, they co-create curriculum-aligned VR projects that directly address classroom needs, ensuring that the technology is not just novel but instructionally meaningful. By emphasizing collaboration, iterative design, and authentic classroom integration, VirtuHS equips students with technical and problem-solving skills while empowering teachers with sustainable strategies for incorporating immersive technologies into their practice.
