Project Title: "Marine, Music, Memory, and Immersion"
Project Description: The project explores the impact of music-specimen pairing on middle school students' immersion, recall, and comprehension in a VR experience about marine life, where musical elements accompany different marine specimens' infographics. Using statistical analysis and memory principles, this application aims to enhance learning and engagement in marine education, evaluating the effectiveness of music to reinforce memory and comprehension of marine science information.
