FutureReady VR: STEM Robotics Lab
FutureReady VR is a “Virtual Makerspace” that democratizes access to expensive robotics hardware. By simulating servos, sensors, and code execution within a Unity physics environment, we allow students to design, build, and crash Mars rovers or battle bots without the cost of physical components.
Infinite Parts Bin
In the real world, a burnt motor ends the lesson. In FutureReady VR, it’s a learning moment reset with a single click. We provide an infinite inventory of parts, encouraging boundless creativity and iterative engineering.
Challenge & Solution
The Challenge: Robotics education is expensive. Schools struggle to afford enough kits for every student, and remote learning makes group hardware projects impossible. Furthermore, debugging code on physical robots is slow and frustrating for beginners. There was a need for a simulation that felt as satisfying as snapping real LEGOs® together.
The Solution: We engineered FutureReady VR, a cross-platform engineering sandbox.
VR Assembly
In VR, students use natural hand tracking to snap motors, wheels, and sensors onto a chassis. The intuitive “magnetic snap” system makes building complex mechanisms easy. They can paint, scale, and customize their creations instantly.
Impact:
- Zero cost per student
- Reduced setup/cleanup time
- Spatial understanding of mechanical engineering
Final Result
FutureReady VR has brought high-end engineering curricula to schools with zero hardware budget.
1M+ Robots Built
Students have designed and saved over 1 million unique robots, creating a massive library of user-generated engineering solutions.
Remote Robotics
Enabled the first-ever 'National Virtual Robotics Championship,' where teams from 50 states competed synchronously in the cloud.
Seamless Handoff
Code written in the simulation is 100% compatible with popular physical education kits, allowing for easy transfer to real hardware.
FutureReady VR turns the classroom into a launchpad for the next generation of engineers.
