Our goal is to explore the benefits of experiential learning and how this method of learning can be achieved in the education system via the use of VR and other simulated reality technologies. There are many novel aspects of learning by experience that we want to look into, including its relation to the brain and its unique impressionable nature in terms of learning. At present, old-school methods of learning are uniform and outdated in an age of personalization and technological advancements. Researching potential implementations of cognitive science targeting experiential learning and individual variance can aid in revolutionizing and supplementing resources for the current education system.
