Cross Reality Presentation 

Arizona 4-H members Jonah Johnson, Dr. Gerardo Lopez, and Andres Astra had the exciting opportunity to present at last year’s Ignite by 4-H national summit in Washington D.C. They led an interactive workshop highlighting how they are using augmented reality technology to drive hands-on 4-H learning and engagement. Through dynamic demonstrations and activities, the team showed high school students from across the country how they are leveraging augmented reality to ignite interest in emerging technologies. Attendees were able to try augmented reality for themselves, exploring innovative future applications across diverse fields.  Jonas, Gerardo, and Andres represented Arizona 4-H on a national stage at the 2023 Ignite conference. Their augmented reality workshop empowered the next generation of leaders with a glimpse of the limitless potential of technology to transform education and connect young people to promising careers. The hands-on showcase was a huge hit at the summit!
