Middletown City Schools awarded grant for a new Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality course

I just came across this article about Middletown City Schools receiving grant for AR and VR course, and thought I'd share with y'all. The news read:

Middletown City Schools has been awarded a $12,224 grant from the Middletown Community Foundation for a new Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality course.

The grant funds will go towards Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) devices for the new AR/VR course being offered at the Middletown High School, Makerspace at the Middletown Middle School, and to provide all students with the opportunity to engage and learn from a virtual reality experience.

A couple of days ago, I asked you guys what you think about using AR and VR as learning tool in a classroom and I got quite a few interesting responses, so I thought I'd share this new development. If, say, your school was granted the same thing, how do you think AR and VR courses/lab will change your school's educational system?
