Since its founding in 2017, Eight Million Stories has focused on serving students who have experienced incarceration or disengagement from traditional schooling. Many arrive having faced significant barriers to re-entry into community schools and limited access to high-quality, individualized education.
“Through zSpace’s headset-free augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) platform,” reads this morning’s news release, “students are gaining hands-on exposure to career pathways including healthcare, automotive technology, gaming, and other high-demand fields. The immersive experiences are designed to help learners explore interests, develop critical thinking skills, and connect classroom learning to real-world opportunities.”
“Many of our students have not had positive educational experiences,” said Marvin Pierre, Co-Founder and Executive Director of 8 Million Stories. “By leveraging innovative programs like zSpace, we are not only closing academic skill gaps — we are reigniting hope. We’re giving young people the opportunity to explore their interests, discover their gifts, and envision a future they may not have seen for themselves before.”
ZSPC shares inched up 1.2%, to 27 cents.
