In June of 2019, VRPlants was invited to join the Capitol Hill Maker Faire at the congressional offices in Washington DC. This event allowed us to showcase 360 degree video as a teaching resource to allow conversational, expressive teaching tools for difficult-to-access teaching spaces.

Hosted by the Nation of Makers along with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and in collaboration with the Congressional Maker Caucus, the event explores the movement driven by engineers, hobbyists, tinkerers, crafters, artists, entrepreneurs and innovators that is revolutionizing education through inquiry-based learning, is breathing new life and innovation into American manufacturing, and is strengthening American communities and their economy.
