New Mixed Reality Experience Puts Students at the Center of Army National Guard Disaster Relief Efforts

(BPT) - Key Takeaways

  • The U.S. Army National Guard is bringing Disasterville — a new mixed-reality experience — to high school students nationwide, using hands-on simulations to demonstrate how National Guard Soldiers respond to disasters and emergencies.
  • Disasterville immerses students within full-scale, mission-oriented disaster zones, including wildfires, floods and earthquakes, to team up and tackle each disaster the same way as the National Guard.
  • Disasterville also introduces students to the different types of careers and missions in the National Guard — a unique component within the U.S. Army where Soldiers have the flexibility to serve their country part-time while pursuing their civilian careers.
