Virtual Reality-Based In-Class Labs:
Boulevard offers two 20-25 minute in-class labs geared towards 7th-10th graders: Operation Independence (Revolutionary War period) and Operation Lookout (Civil War era). These labs are designed to engage and excite students about American history by transporting them “back in time” to collaboratively solve espionage-based puzzles using information gathered from important objects, like the Declaration of Independence.
