With the assistance of his mentor Louis de Wardt, Hamdan will show a tool with which participants can work through during the session to create their own VR apps.

A bespoke platform utilizing A Frame will be used as the primary VR App creating tool - see github

@louisdewar is this a replacement session for your math VR session or in addition?

[louisdewar]

@EPIKhub What math VR session? (P.S Sorry for late reply, only just saw this)

[louisdewar]

Do you mean Hamdan's VR maths game he made? He will be showing that off at the begining as an example project

[EPIKhub]

@louisdewar ok so this is to replace that session that was submitted and not in addition to it?

[louisdewar]

@EPIKhub I didn't submit the first one and I just found the one you're talking about #367 and yes I think this one replaces that

Thanks for your help :-) (EDIT: For some reason I mentioned the wrong person by accident woops!)

[EPIKhub]

@louisdewar @edrushka Fab! :) thanks for the clarification

[EPIKhub]

@louisdewar: I would also recommend your team come up with a session name that is not so technical and more fun if possible? :)

[louisdewar]

@EPIKhub Great idea! I'll talk to Hamdan about it

[gbaman]

@louisdewar any updates on an updated session title for this session?

[gbaman]

@louisdewar as well, does this session require attendees to bring their own equipment (laptop etc?)

[gbaman]

@louisdewar I have not had a YouthZone facilitator administration online form be completed for this session. It has been emailed out twice now over the past few weeks to the email address associated with this session. Could this please be filled in ASAP or this session may not be able to take place. If you have any issues completing the form or have actually already filled it in, please let us know.

[louisdewar]

Hey @gbamam, sorry I haven't responded sooner I believed that form should have been sent but I will catch up with the person who sorted that out very shortly. The attendees will not have to bring their own laptops as we can provide a reasonable number although if they have them they might as well bring them and still finalizing the decision on a title.

[gbaman]

@louisdewar great to hear on laptops. I still have not received any facilitators from this session having filled in the form.

We are not able to schedule this session without that information, so this session will be held back from being scheduled unless it is filled in ASAP.

I will also reiterate, that form must be filled in by all the facilitators involved in this session, not just the primary facilitator.

[louisdewar]

Hi @gbaman , I haven't been able to get in contact with the other person who originally organised this but could you send the forms to this address: --Email address removed-- and I will get them filled out by both me and Hamdan straight away.
