[Lab] Google Cardboard in Classrooms

[Darcy Whyte]

Yeah, is a great video. And google cardboard does work really will with the
right hardware...

Perhaps kids already have these devices and it's just a matter of adding a
piece of cardboard, lenses and a magnet (rubber bands too)........

perhaps do a survey of some of the target audiences and see what they have?
