ATHENA LABS
Immersive VR Education for Kids ages 6 - 14

Our students are introduced to the Metaverse through an immersive virtual reality experience which enables them to connect with their cohort of peers from around the globe to connect, create, learn inside of our immersive learning VR environment hosted by Engage.

Our Immersive Learning Program is best experienced in Virtual Reality. We recommend children have an Oculus Quest Device, but wider devices are supported by the Engage VR platform. These can be viewed here.

Children join their cohorts each week via a Google Meet link, in order to verify participants and provided token gated access and to outline the focus for the session. As a result, use of a laptop or desktop computer with the Chrome browser is required.

Our program tuition fees are £165 GPB per course.

Athena Labs are designed as five day courses which can take place over a number of weeks our intensive week long camps during the school holidays.

Yes! Yes! We offer a sibling discount - each child beyond the first child receives a 20% off.

All of our teachers are selected through a competitive application process. Our Educational Leadership team at Sophia High School, handpick each Athena teacher and follow the highest standards of safer recruitment in education with regards to our vetting process. Their backgrounds vary, from experienced teachers, passionate Mathematicians and to Computer Science Geeks to Gamers and Developers. Each brings a passion for reimagining education in the digital age and and introducing children to the exciting world of the Metaverse in a safe and engaging manner.

Discord is an online communication platform. We have our own private channel there for members. It is an environment where parents can join, discuss and share experiences and also quickly reach out to our team with questions.

Demand has been very high at Athena since we began our incubator pilot with the students at Sophia HIgh School. We are currently on a reservation system. When you reserve a spot, you are securing a seat and your opportunity to enroll in upcoming cohorts, which are opened every month. You can make a reservation for a child of any age up to 14, and they can enroll beginning at age 6.

Currently our waiting list for children wishing to join Athena Labs is four weeks.

Once you pay the reservation fee, your child’s place is guaranteed at Athena Labs. Towards the middle of each month, we send enrollment invitations via email to those parents that are next in line on the reservation list. Enrollment remains open until the cohorts are full.

Each student takes part in a weekly, teacher led Immersive Learning experience in Virtual Reality with our Team of Teachers. These sessions enable students to explore a wide variety of immersive spaces, learn new tools, discover how to navigate in the space and engage in all subjects; from Maths to Science, creative arts, performance, humanities and everything in between.

As part of their cohorts, children will be challenged through competitions and events held inside of our immersive learning spaces which are held throughout the year. We also work hard to foster a sense of community through our private Discord channel, and other hosted parent events inside of the Metaverse.

All students who join are gifted with a Digital NFT Collectable as part of the experience.
