Professor Maxwell’s VR Atlas 2.0 from Abacus Brands is an adventure in a box. Each time kids open the kit, they will embark on a virtual reality (VR) journey to another country and learn about its wildlife, landscape, historic sites, and more.

The VR kit is designed for kids ages 8 and up, and comes with goggles, a 144-page book, and more than 100 pieces for kids to complete guided projects. Set up is simple — just download the app (available on the App Store and Google Play) and clip your phone to the adjustable goggles.

The interactive book takes kids around the world country by country to discover other cultures, foods, architecture, and more in an immersive VR experience. This kit offers more than 200 VR experiences, and unlike other similar kits, Professor Maxwell’s VR Atlas 2.0 is even more interactive because it comes with more than 15 physical projects with step-by-step instructions to incorporate into your journey.

On page 21, kids can learn all about fossils found at Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada, then uncover their own fossils by using the included chisel and brush. Once all the bones have been discovered, kids can piece together a dinosaur skeleton. Kids can learn about mountains and volcanoes on page 93 and then create their own volcanic eruption!

Kids also have the option to use a device without the goggles for an augmented reality (AR) experience. Whichever option they choose, there are tons of places to explore and lots to learn. Other projects include building towers, creating a sundial, throwing a boomerang, folding origami, and more. STEAM learning is encouraged and young curious minds will be able to enjoy this kit for months on end.

Professor Maxwell’s VR Atlas 2.0 from Abacus Brands is a great way for kids to learn all about other countries and explore what they have to offer — all without having to leave home.
