This friendly workshop will start you building Virtual Reality (VR) experiences quickly and easily. This workshop makes use of the A-frame JavaScript library. Prior knowledge of JavaScript or HTML is NOT required (but it doesn't hurt). By the end of the session you will have created a simple VR environment.

- Understand what Virtual Reality (VR) is and the various component involved in building various VR experiences.
- It will also provide a practical walkthrough of setting up and customizing a VR environment.
- Based on participant interests, different features will be explored in more depth.
- Resources for deepening your knowledge after the workshop will be provided.
