We have created a place to meet and talk virtually, using the program Topia. You can move around to explore the virtual world and talk with other people. As you walk near someone, their video comes into view and their voice gets louder. It’s like walking up to someone to have a conversation!

Click the Topia logo on the left to join our virtual world!
