Virtual Reality in Kingman

Check out this article by the Kingman Daily Miner about how Act One is bringing our VR program to Kingman schools!

Fifth-grade students and teachers at Manzanita Elementary School in Kingman got to experience the future of field trips on Wednesday, November 16.

The headsets transported students to Mexico, Chicago, and Tucson without leaving the classroom, and they learned about the Mexican Mural Movement and the muralism trend.
