XR is changing how we learn. Lorenzo Vallone, from the Award winning studio Xennial Digital, sat down with us at VRX 2019 to share their thirteen STEM education experiences, A Magic leap climate change visualization, and their social impact work in Guatemala and Columbia. Xennial Digital won the award for the 2018 most innovative company by the La Prensa newspaper.

The most unique part of Xennial Digital is how they are partnering with schools to make high school students product designers on their educational platform. This results in a product that is made for students by students with expert oversight and guidance. Their success is shown when students spend forty minutes modifying variables to observe and understand outcomes.
