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 class, a microcontroller in the computer science club, a VR headset in geography class: Through the state program DMP+VR, schools in the district have access to equipment that allows learners to design, construct, and experiment themselves.
The package is divided into five areas:
-
Audio – Microphones, recorders, and accessories for all kinds 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 virtual field trips to places that would otherwise be inaccessible
How to Get the Technology
If you require our loan equipment or would like to try it out, please feel free to contact us via email or phone.
In the Educational Media Library, you will find numerous teaching series and application possibilities related to DMP. Suitable content for the VR headsets can be found in the VIL portal (portal.vil.digital). Let us know the desired titles, and the kit will be ready for pick-up, fully prepared. An introduction is included.
We are planning a regular maker meeting where we present the devices. Those who want to try it out first before planning a teaching project are welcome to join.
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.
