The VR Center – History & Mission
The VR Center was formed in 2016 as a community-focused technology and STEM learning space to inspire, empower, and redirect youth through positive, hands-on experiences. Motivated by the growing challenges facing teens, lack of opportunity, and limited access to constructive outlets—The VR Center set out to build something that could make a real difference.
From its early days, The VR Center has partnered with community organizations like the YMCA, providing after-school STEM programs that gave students a deeper understanding of how technology systems work together.
The VR Center expanded its impact through STEM summer camps, featuring immersive, hands-on learning experiences:
• Robotics: Design, code, and upload programs to physical robots.
• Multimedia: Video editing and green screen production.
• Weather & Atmosphere: Learn how weather works and perform mock weather forecasts.
Additional technical training programs include:
• Computer Building Classes: Build computers from scratch.
• Network Communication: Create and test network cables.
• AV Technology: Learn audio/video cables and connection sources.
Looking ahead, The VR Center continues to grow its mission with an upcoming free community technology workshop for seniors, designed to help older adults to feel more confident and comfortable using today’s technology.
At its core, The VR Center exists to educate, uplift, and serve—turning curiosity into skill, and potential into purpose.
