TULSA, Okla., Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — ImaginX, a Kastech Services and Solutions company,
has been awarded the Tulsa Public School, Nathan Hale Virtual Reality Lab
Project. ImaginX is a world-leading innovation company specializing in
immersive learning with augmented and virtual reality. The initiative under the
vision and leadership of Nathan Hale’s Principal, Dr. Sheila Riley will make a
significant impact in the area of innovation for all K12 systems in the U.S.
Dr. Riley has
envisioned a world where students can leverage the best of what teachers offer
and combine it with the latest in what technology and innovation can provide.
This combination is a form of blended learning that engages students at a new
level. Dr. Riley’s vision is in perfect alignment with ImaginX, who believes
that immersive learning does not replace human interaction; rather, it enhances
human and social interaction.
Dr. Riley has invested years to create a highly engaging
environment with blended learning. After visiting Oral Roberts University in 2019 and testing immersive
learning capabilities with augmented and virtual reality, she knew it could
meet her vision for personalizing student’s education pathways and learning.
Dr. Riley states, “I am elated that technology has evolved to the point
that education can be advanced to new levels of engagement while taking blended
learning to a new level.” Riley stated, “Oral Roberts University
created the perfect environment, where educators can see the depth and breadth
of immersive learning, while helping us find the right solutions and partners
to make it a reality at Nathan Hale High School.”
The ImaginX immersive learning solution for Nathan Hale
includes an enterprise approach that will provide numerous solutions to allow
students to use augmented and virtual reality on multiple devices. The solution
will also offer a theater-style setting, numerous full immersion goggles, and
hands-on tactile engagement to create almost any 3D, AR, VR, MR, and XR
content. The tactile VR workbenches will integrate with Nathan Hales 3D
printers, whereby students can view over 50,0000 learning objects, modify the
object, and then print the object on the 3D printer. This enterprise approach will give the
teachers of Nathan Hale the world’s most advanced methods to re-enforce
learning with step-by-step procedures to explore learning objects, environments,
and career choices in fresh new ways.
Suresh Katamreddy, Chief Operating Officer for ImaginX has
seen an explosion in education leaders embrace the incredible manner that
immersive learning improves education. Suresh states, “During COVID-19,
there has never been a more urgent need for every educator to have access to
tools that engage students in fresh and exciting ways. ImaginX immersive
learning solutions in an enterprise approach allow all educators and students
to engage via every device while still enjoying traditional learning
benefits. We are pleased to offer such
creative solutions that elate education leaders like Dr. Sheila Riley.”
Dr. Jerry Griffin, Tulsa Public School Board Member for
District 6 states, “I would like to praise the Principal of Nathan Hale,
Dr. Sheila Riley, as this is kind of program that can make Tulsa Public Schools
a top-of-the-line brand, not only within Tulsa, but the entire State of
Oklahoma. This is the type of program that we will be talking about in our long-range
planning journey to see implemented in all the schools, not just Nathan Hale.
This is a branding item and I am really excited about it.”
Suresh Katamreddy is elated with the technical Savvy of Joe
Jennings, Interim CIO for Tulsa Public School system. Suresh states, “The
combined technical savvy matched with Dr. Riley’s vision is what every high
