The cross-cultural event was in the spirit of Melania'sFostering the Future Togethertechnological initiative. The American students were encouraged to use the AI glasses to investigate artifacts from both the U.S. and U.K., and VR headsets allowed them to "visit" iconic sites like Snowdonia, Giant’s Causeway, Stonehenge, and the exterior of Buckingham Palace.
“Today, students all over the world can visit historically important sites, learn about the past, and be inspired,” the first lady said ina briefing statement about the event. “Our children don’t need to board airplanes to experience history anymore. Kids can have an educational experience that is fundamentally richer and more memorable than ever before, through VR and AI.”
