Play Higher Pioneers

Do you teach, counsel, or provide programming to middle or high school students? Apply to become a Play Higher Pioneer to get a free VR Headset and free games to enhance curriculum for your school or program!

The Play Higher Pioneers program allows educators and organizational leaders in West Virginia to complete an application where they propose a plan for using the Play Higher VR game in their setting. For any applicants who do not already have a Meta Quest VR headset in their school or program, selected applicants are awarded a free Meta Quest virtual reality headset pre-loaded with Play Higher and several other relevant applications. Those awarded are required to utilize Play Higher in their context with at least 50 students over the course of three years completing evaluations of the game's effectiveness in reaching its objectives with students.
