Digital Making Places and Virtual Reality (DMP+VR)
This page was translated from German using artificial intelligence. The translation may contain errors or inaccuracies. In case of doubt, the German original version prevails.
A 3D printer in technology lessons, a microcontroller in the computer science club, a VR headset in geography lessons: Through the state program DMP+VR, schools in the district have access to equipment that allows students to create, construct, and experiment themselves instead of just observing.
The package is divided into five areas:
-
Audio – Microphones, recorders, and accessories for all types of audio productions
-
Visual – Camera technology, lighting, and greenscreen for video projects
-
Haptic/Tinker – 3D printers, laser cutters, and embroidery machines for tangible work
-
Coding/Flex – Robotics and microcontrollers as an introduction to programming
-
Virtual Reality – Headsets with accessories for lessons taking place in otherwise unreachable locations
How to Get the Technology
You can find suitable content for the VR headsets on the VIL portal (portal.vil.digital). Let us know the titles you want, and the case will be ready for pickup, fully set up. A briefing is included.
We are planning a regular maker meetup where we will present the devices. If you want to try them out before planning a lesson, this is the right place for you.
Background
DMP+VR originates from an initiative of the Ministry of Schools and Education of NRW and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research; also involved are the Media Advisory Service NRW and the municipal media centers of the state. A total of 45 municipal media centers and 33 centers for practical teacher training have been equipped across the state – the Oberberg media center is one of them.
