summary
Eight grantees win from a $1M pool after 276 applicants and 60 judges; projects build concrete XR pathways: a VR micro‑teaching classroom that logs behavior and uses learning analytics for personalized feedback; a six‑month Autism CanTech program that adapts the Unity Basic Certification to autistic learners to raise a 14% employment baseline; and California’s first state‑registered XR pre‑apprenticeship that creates an employer Advisory Board and a universal job profile to standardize curriculum for scale.
