• An educator/tech expert who will travel to your school to set up, facilitate, and break down the VR experience in your classroom
• Resources to extend and diversify the experience, including an authentic object of ancient sculpture that students can handle and investigate during the program as part of their exploration of the art and science of museum conservation
