All Pop Warner participants will receive access to CrashCourse, an interactive online program that seeks to educate young athletes about concussions. CrashCourse features some content recorded in virtual reality.
CrashCourse is the work of TeachAids, a nonprofit education initiative, and was developed in collaboration with researchers at Stanford University. Among the components of CrashCourse are a concussion symptoms simulator, a 3D representation of the brain, interactive videos starring prominent athletes, and a VR demo that mimics the experience of playing high school football. An HD version of the program is available for free online while those enrolled in Pop Warner will receive the full version.
