VR Goggles

Recall the road memory challenge activity

Recall the Road Memory Challenge

This activity will show the effect of distractions on your ability to pay attention and focus.

STOP! Stack the Blocks Activity

This hands-on activity raises awareness about the dangers of speeding and helps show that the faster the speed, the more stopping distance is required. You and your peers will conceptualize the distance it takes for a car traveling X miles per hour to stop to better visualize the longer stopping distances that are needed when traveling at high speeds.

Focus Factor

This activity can be used to learn about the dangers of distracted driving and how you can speak up as a passenger. This activity can be completed individually or as a team and is a quick and easy activity that requires minimal materials.
