What is the Next Tech Showcase?
The Next Tech Student Showcase is a diverse team of students working to promote future technologies to all students and the greater Chapel Hill-Carrboro communities. From 360° experiences to virtual reality games, these students are creating content to introduce new technologies to their peers and neighbors.
For the Next Tech Student Showcase, we are asking that VR participants be middle school-aged and up. Students 13 years of age and younger need to be accompanied by an adult. This age limit is based on recommendations of the VR manufacturers and industry leaders.
