🧠✨ Learning Comes to Life at East Campus!
Our Library Director recently took SouthArk’s Merge Cubes to the East Campus for a hands-on visit with a Criminal Justice class, and the brainpower was on full display!
Using augmented reality technology, students explored detailed 3D models of the brain, examining structures they are currently studying in class. Instead of just reading about the frontal lobe and amygdala, they were able to interact with them, rotate them, and see how different regions connect and function together. It’s one thing to study the brain from a textbook, but it’s another to hold it in your hands.
Experiences like this are part of our commitment to innovative, experiential learning across campuses.
A HUGE thank you to the SouthArk Foundation for supporting the purchase of this technology through an Innovation Mini Grant. Your investment is helping us bring dynamic, engaging tools directly into the classroom and expand what learning looks like for our students.
