As we wrap up National Science Month, the UWC Immersive Zone proudly visited Protea Heights Academy, where we showcased how immersive technologies are transforming the way we learn, explore, and experience science.

From VR and AR to interactive 3D experiences, learners had the opportunity to see how innovation is reshaping scientific discovery, education, and problem-solving. By bringing complex concepts to life, immersive technology makes science more engaging, accessible, and inspiring for the next generation of innovators.

A heartfelt thank you to South African National Space Agency (SANSA)for inviting us, the learners, educators, and staff at Protea Heights Academy for welcoming us and embracing the future of science and technology.
