100,000 students and counting: Google brings VR kits to schools in 15 more cities

Google is expanding its Expeditions Pioneer Program, an initiative to help teachers and students use virtual reality in schools around the world. The program is adding new locations in the U.S. — Alexandria, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Detroit, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Orlando, Phoenix, Portland, Salt Lake City, and Washington D.C. — as well as coming to three new countries: Denmark, Singapore, and Canada.

Fifteen new cities are being added in total, though Google didn’t say how many schools exactly would be participating in the expansion or how many the program now totals. It did say that teachers can choose from more than 120 tours of places such as Antarctica, the Acropolis, or the Borneo Rainforest to show their students.
