Episode 142 : Transforming K-12 Education Through Hackathons - Rohit Chaube

Rohit has been an Enterprise Software consultant most of his professional life working with Oracle products. He caught on the VR/AR technology bug in 2015 when he participated and won Techweek Kansas City 2015 hackathon. Once bitten by the VR bug there was no looking back. After participating and winning multiple hackathons, it was time to spread the word about this new technology and how it can change lives.

Being passionate about K-12 education helped and along with Joel Stephens Rohit started - VRoKCs - a VR/AR software development program for high school students.

The program introduces students to VR/AR development along with using hackathons as a medium to prototype solutions to real world problems and accelerate learning.

After five years, Rohit and VRoKCs are posed for bigger things including summer camps, school VR/AR curriculum and much more. Check out - VRoKCs Overview - https://youtu.be/0J7l4Pzp5Tw and VRoKCs.org
