Transforming Healthy Eating: VR Innovations For Autistic Students

Our commitment to tackling the complex issue of food insecurity in the US, especially among the 17 million affected children, has led us to innovative educational methods.

Just six weeks ago, the challenge was clear: our autistic students at PS12X were hesitant about vegetables. Now, each week they eagerly anticipate the meals they cook in class with our food educator @agricumami 

This breakthrough came from blending education with cutting-edge technology, using VR to transport students into a digital kitchen. Here, they learn to prepare nutritious meals in a fun, engaging way, turning reluctance into enthusiasm for healthy eating.

As official @department_of_education registered food educators, we’re not just teaching cooking; we’re unlocking a world of taste and nutrition, making a real difference in the fight against food insecurity.  

Big love to the game makers of Cook It! @ptr_vr
