To say that hosting “A Taste of the Metaverse” at the Media Arts Conference at Spring Valley High School was enjoyable would be a massive understatement. I am so grateful to one of the coolest people around, Josh Drews, for inviting me to demo the metaverse for learning at his super cool event. This week-long arts conference takes elementary to high school art teachers on a journey through a variety of digital art-making tools and techniques. Some of those tools included graphic design and movie-making tools, and 3D modeling in TinkerCAD - which I was happy to share.

I got to spend a few hours showing teachers how we at The Diner Studio use Spatial.io, Ready Player Me, SketchUp, and AI to develop exciting, socially immersive experiences with global artists and our students.
