Making educators and youth Metaverse-ready.

The Metaverse boom is opening many opportunities for developers, creators, service providers and platform enablers to innovate and create a new space for themselves. It is estimated that Metaverse will be a $679 billion industry by 2030. 1M1B is building the Metaverse for skilling and education in India by first training students on digital citizenship, cyber safety and then introducing Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented reality (AR) in schools. However, more than adding an AR/VR course, 1M1B is integrating these technologies across our different subjects and curriculums. AR and VR shouldn’t become a specialized field that is isolated and separate - we need students who are interested in biology, mathematics and even political science to know how to use and leverage AR and VR technology. With support of Meta, 1M1B has introduced AR/VR as a skill subject for grade 6-8 in CBSE schools, so that students can get sensitized early and start thinking on how immersive technologies like AR/VR could be applied in a real-world environment. Soon AR/VR will be introduced in STEM subjects and later as an elective for grade 9th-10th and 11th-12th.

The vision of the Meta-1M1B partnership is to engage 10 million students and 1 million teachers across India with a strong focus on public, underserved and tribal schools.
