The Atlas Rover is an otherworldly facility designed to reinvigorate curiosity! Participants (known as explorers) will enter a Virtual Reality rover as a team to investigate and catalog a new planet discovering the native animals, plants & minerals. Explorers will enter our VR rover and venture out into a new world. Each explorer has a job: driving the rover, capturing digital photos, taking virtual coresamples, or recording audio. Once their ride concludes they will take their digital samples to one of the activity stations to delve into their findings. Each activity is correlated with a new sense. The mineral activity focuses on touch, the plant activity invokes smell, and the animal activity explores sound. After the activities are completed, explorers will receive stickers to fill out theirExplorer’s Journal. This team experience combines virtual and tangible exploration to gamify real-world discovery.
