The 3D World - MegaMinds Edition (3D-ME) program is designed to provide a safe, interactive environment for students to practice communication, social, and life skills. Individual student goals are addressed via online and real-life experiences, through a combination of classroom teaching and in-world conversations.
How does it work? Students practice communication skills in web-based spaces that simulate stores, parks, banks, job centers, and more. Inside 3D-ME, each student, via their online avatar, will communicate with a variety of specialized non-player characters (NPCs) that are driven by artificial intelligence (AI). It is the goal of the program that the students generalize and transfer these skills to their communities outside of school.
