SayPro Tasks to Be Done for the Period
Task 1: Pre-Event Preparation (January 1, 2025 – January 10, 2025)
Objective:
To ensure that the SayPro 5-Day Virtual Reality Camp is well-structured, content-rich, and supported by the necessary technical and physical resources for both online and in-person participants.
Key Activities:
1. Curriculum Development
Scope Definition:
Design a comprehensive curriculum that covers foundational and advanced topics critical to understanding and creating virtual reality experiences.
Key modules to include:
Introduction to VR Hardware: Overview of VR headsets, sensors, controllers, and their setup.
Software Platforms for VR Development: Detailed training on Unity and/or Unreal Engine tailored for VR applications.
VR Interaction Design: Principles of user experience (UX) in VR, motion controls, spatial audio, and interface design.
Application Deployment: Techniques for building, testing, and publishing VR projects across platforms.
Structure and Flow:
Break down the 5-day program into daily thematic sessions, balancing theory, hands-on labs, and project work.
Incorporate assessment checkpoints to gauge participant progress.
Learning Outcomes:
Define clear, measurable learning objectives for each session to guide content creation and participant evaluation.
2. Instructional Materials Creation
Slide Decks:
Develop engaging, visually clear slide presentations that summarize key concepts and support instructor delivery. Include diagrams, screenshots, and flowcharts to illustrate complex ideas.
Video Tutorials:
Produce step-by-step video guides demonstrating software installations, coding practices, VR scene creation, and interaction scripting. Ensure videos are concise, accessible, and professionally edited.
Practical Coding Examples:
Prepare reusable code snippets and mini-project templates for Unity and/or Unreal Engine that participants can study and modify. Emphasize best practices and debugging techniques.
Supplementary Resources:
Compile recommended reading lists, FAQs, troubleshooting guides, and glossaries of VR terminology to support diverse learning styles.
3. Technical Infrastructure Setup
Online Platform Configuration:
Prepare the SayPro website or Learning Management System (LMS) to host camp materials, live streaming sessions, discussion forums, and submission portals.
Ensure seamless access for online participants with user-friendly navigation and reliable uptime.
Account and Access Management:
Set up user accounts, permissions, and authentication protocols for participants and instructors.
Provide clear instructions for login, downloading software, and accessing resources.
Resource Preparation for In-Person Participants:
Inventory and test all VR hardware (headsets, controllers, sensors), computers, and peripherals to guarantee functionality.
Arrange physical spaces for safety, comfort, and optimal VR tracking conditions.
Prepare backup equipment to mitigate technical failures during the camp.
Technical Support Planning:
Develop a troubleshooting framework and support schedule to assist participants during setup and throughout the event.
Deliverables by January 10, 2025:
Completed, reviewed, and approved 5-day curriculum document.
Full set of instructional materials (slide decks, videos, coding examples) uploaded to the online platform.
Functional online infrastructure with participant access tested.
Physical VR setup ready, tested, and organized for immediate use.
Technical support plan documented and team briefed.
Importance:
Completing these preparatory tasks meticulously ensures a high-quality educational experience, smooth event execution, and maximizes participant engagement and learning outcomes for both virtual and in-person attendees.
