Learn about inspiring learning and creativity with VR

Read more: https://goo.gl/HUoBq0

Augmenting traditional learning with a rich curriculum of experiential learning, through field trips, science labs, robotics class etc, is usually expensive, impractical, or both. However, virtual reality (VR) has the potential to overcome those challenges and help bring experiential learning to all learners regardless of geography or income level. VR has the potential to provide an entirely new perspective on people, places, and things from a single device, which becomes your school bus, your chemistry set, your programmable robot etc.

Learn insights from Shazia Makhdumi, Global Head of Family & Education Partnerships at Google Play, on how early entrants have the opportunity to shape the direction of VR for inspiring learning and creativity.

- updating the Android O Wi-Fi stack in conjunction with changes to the Wi-Fi chipset firmware used by Pixel, Pixel XL and Nexus 5x phones to randomize MAC addresses in probe requests
