About this course
Get ready for a virtual adventure through the African savannah! Start with an educational video journey with stunning footage of your favorite creatures or switch to immersive 360 VR mode and get closer than ever before.
Afterward, you’ll transform your room into the Africa savannah by bringing holograms of lunging lions, ziggy zebras, enormous elephants, and seven other animals to life using your iPad or mobile phone. Get super close, analyze their anatomy, ‘touch’ them, and don’t forget to take awesome pictures!
Now that you’re on your feet, the next step is to get a birds-eye view of Africa! Go on a google earth scavenger hunt where you’ll explore water holes, famous national parks, and other landmarks, powered by Explore.org live streams. But it doesn’t stop there! Tune your engines with digital workbooks that will have you speaking basic Swahili, expanding your safari vocabulary, and sharpening your short-term memory.
