Workshops & Programs
An important goal of XRPeds is to provide outreach and programming to underserved youth within our community by providing workshops, internships, and training in Unity and XR as it relates to research, game intervention development, and clinical applications. By providing youth with these types of experiences and ongoing mentorship opportunities, we intend to help them reach their future ambitions of working in the XR and game industry, a field that needs more female and minority voices.
