The Palmetto Education Summit 2026

This session introduces the Telepresence Amusement Park project, in which student teams design model amusement park rides equipped with wireless cameras that stream to head-mounted displays. The result transforms a third-person toy into a first-person ride experience for residents of retirement communities, including those with limited mobility. Participants will learn how this project builds career readiness through engineering design, community partnerships, and experiential STEAM learning.
