🌟 VWEC 2026 Kick‑Off Meeting
A fresh year of creativity, community, and learning
We’re launching the 2026 VWEC season, and we’d love for you to help shape what we explore together. Whether you’re an educator, researcher, lifelong learner, or someone who just loves building and experimenting in OpenSim — you’re part of this community.
This year, we want to:
* Discover what topics and workshops excite you
* Support your education projects (big or small)
* Celebrate the idea that every OpenSim project is a learning project — for the creator and for everyone who experiences it
Your curiosity, ideas, and participation are what make VWEC thrive. You don’t need a polished plan — just bring your interest and your willingness to jump in.
Come help us kick off 2026 with energy, imagination, and a whole lot of collaborative fun.
