Empowering Students with Immersive Learning: Human Anatomy VR at UDC’s STEAAM Camp
In the last week of June, the Center for the Advancement of Learning (CAL) at the University of the District of Columbia welcomed more than 40 middle and high school students as part of the university’s annual CAUSES STEAAM Camp. The program—focused on Data Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, Architecture, and Mathematics—offers young learners exposure to emerging technologies and academic pathways in these fields.
During their visit, students explored CAL’s immersive learning offerings, including Human Anatomy VR by Virtual Medicine. The hands-on session gave students the opportunity to engage with interactive 3D anatomical models in a virtual environment—an experience that reflects how modern tools are being used in higher education to make complex subjects more accessible.
CAL’s participation in the STEAAM Camp reflects its continued commitment to expanding access to innovative educational tools. By offering students a chance to explore immersive platforms like Human Anatomy VR, CAL helps spark early interest in science and health-related fields through technology-rich, hands-on learning.
