The future is now! Imagine if you could go to school, through the comfort of your own home. Not through zooms or video platforms, but instead using VR technology that sends a robot to take your place.

This innovative technology would be designed with introverts at heart, hoping to improve the lives of those who suffer from social anxiety or find school overwhelming. Now everyone can enjoy their learning and become the best version of themselves, without the stress of bullying or social exclusion. 

For their smart start experiment, this team are creating an SR (Sensory Room) at their school as a safe space for those who struggle with being social. They plan to trial this room as an option for select students and test whether their learning outcomes improve through having a more comfortable environment.
