Students with the Bluewater District School Board were able visit a virtual auto shop as part of an ongoing partnership with Georgian College.

Students in Careers, Civics and Computer Technology classes at Grey Highlands and Owen Sound District Secondary got to see the inner workings of the electric vehicle industry.

The hands on experience in virtual and augmented reality was implemented through a grant aimed to encourage students in grades 10-12 to consider related careers.

The 15 minute VR experience put students in an EV garage after applying a headset.

Students were presented with the view of a floating robot who provided instruction to guide them throughout the completion of a few tasks.
