In today’s rapidly changing world, technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace. While machines are taking over many tasks, there’s one thing they can’t replace: human creativity. Creativity isn’t just about art; it’s about solving global challenges, from climate change to technological innovation. Alongside creativity, emotional intelligence helps us navigate the complex social landscape of our connected world.
Imagine watching your child light up with excitement as they solve a challenging problem or confidently share their ideas with others. Creativity turns ordinary moments into extraordinary opportunities. It’s about thinking differently, finding innovative solutions, and imagining what’s possible.
Through hands-on experiences and developing cognitive skills, students learn to approach familiar concepts from new angles. This mindset encourages innovation and problem-solving, leading to breakthroughs in science, technology, and beyond.
But creativity doesn’t thrive in isolation. It flourishes alongside emotional intelligence—the ability to understand and manage our emotions while empathizing with others. Developing emotional intelligence helps children build stronger relationships, navigate social complexities, and become compassionate leaders.
Simple questions like, “What made you feel happy today?” or “How did that event make you feel?” can teach children to recognize and manage their emotions. These are crucial skills for personal and professional success.
As parents, we all want our children to enjoy learning and stay curious about the world. One way to spark that enthusiasm is by incorporating technology they find engaging—like virtual reality (VR). Virtual reality in education is transforming how students learn by making lessons interactive and immersive.
VR learning turns abstract concepts into tangible experiences. Imagine your child exploring the solar system, conducting virtual chemistry experiments, or walking through historical events—all from the comfort of home. This kind of interactive classroom experience can make learning both fun and memorable.
STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) can sometimes feel challenging or abstract to students. By gamifying these subjects using VR, we can make them more accessible and engaging. Games naturally motivate students to solve problems, think critically, and persist through challenges—all essential skills in STEM fields.
At XReady Lab, we specialize in creating VR simulations for schools that align with the curriculum. Our virtual reality classrooms allow students to dive deep into STEM subjects through interactive labs and experiments. While our primary focus is classroom use, we recognize the value of extending these resources to home learning.
There are many educational VR apps available that can enrich your child’s learning experience at home. One of our favorites is Enhance VR, an app developed with neuroscientists to boost cognitive skills through fun and engaging activities.
VR hasn’t just been about games for a while now. You can find plenty of educational apps in app libraries. Open the Education section of your VR device’s Store and see how VR can be used to your child’s advantage to develop intelligence. While not all VR apps are tailored for classroom curriculum, they offer valuable opportunities for self-development. Encouraging your child to use VR goggles for education at home can foster a love for learning and exploration. These apps cover a wide range of topics, from science and math to history and art.

We start with consultation: our team helps plan the VR classroom for your school. You need internet access and a suitable room — allocate about 5 x 5 feet (1.5 x 1.5 m) per student. One headset per two students works well.
Devices and licenses: schools can use existing Meta Quest or Pico devices and purchase licenses, or we can offer discounted devices or a turnkey solution with pre-installed content.
After purchase, we guide device setup and content installation and provide teacher training.
Teachers learn how to run VR lessons using Lesson Plans and Engagement Playbooks, manage screen casting and paired learning, and keep students engaged.
Ongoing support is always available.
VR lessons typically last 5–15 minutes, depending on the simulation, with a recommended class size of up to 20 students. Screen casting is supported and compatible with selected teacher management systems, allowing teachers to launch simulations remotely, monitor progress, and view all devices during lessons.
Teachers are supported with Lesson Plans and Engagement Playbooks that include learning objectives, step-by-step lesson flow, classroom scenarios, reflection questions, practical assignments, and assessment guidance.
