Lodged by Kevin Stewart Standard Motion 15 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the news that Aberdeen Science Centre is expanding its virtual reality (VR) offering with a new workshop and birthday party experience; notes that the centre launched its VR experiences in 2025, allowing visitors to explore new digital worlds, encounter dinosaurs, travel through time and shrink in size to journey through the human body; understands that over 6,500 children and families across the north east of Scotland have been engaged with the centre’s ClassVR headsets at both the centre and at community events; further understands that the four new VR experiences being offered throughout the year will focus on exploring ocean life, journeying through different animals’ habitats, discovering more about famous historic moments and learning about geography and geology; believes that this is a fantastic way of engaging children in learning through the use of modern technology, and in particular in getting more children interested in STEM subjects, and hopes that these new VR experiences will be every bit as successful as the existing ones.
