NC BOLD West 2026 Day 1 McDowell High School

What if you could step out of your teacher’s shoes and into the seat of your most curious, most distracted, most underestimated student? Welcome to BOLDchella: Through Their Eyes — a high-energy, hands-on immersive learning experience designed to flip the lens on how we design instruction. In this festival-style session, participants won't just hear about immersive learning — they'll live it. Two dynamic stages. Two transformative tools. Virtual Reality drops you into places words simply can't reach. AI-powered vibe coding puts the creative power of technology directly in your hands. The catch? Every moment is designed from the inside out — felt before it's analyzed, experienced before it's taught. You’ll leave BOLDchella with more than inspiration. You’ll walk away with a mindset shift that puts the student experience at the center of every instructional decision you make.
