Middle school students from St. Louis area were invited to Mizzou to have an inside look at the college experience and all the benefits of pursuing a college degree.

TELL group members hosted the worshop entitled “Orientate Yourself in Virtual Reality” where students could experience a 3D virtual reality (VR) world developed by the group. Students used their avatars (virtual characters) to get to know SISLT professors and explore the virtual buildings of the College of Education.
