PHOENIX–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#TWS360–Today, Tulsa Welding School®, the largest welding school in the
U.S.¹, will debut a 360-degree virtual reality video (https://www.weldingschool.com/tws360/)
that gives viewers a choice of which career path they could choose: a
dead end job, or a professional welder working in a variety of
environments. The video highlights the locations where welders can most
often be found: on top of a skyscraper, working on a ship, and in a
traditional welding shop.

“Tulsa Welding School is excited to debut our 360-degree VR video at
this year’s FFA Convention & Expo,” said Shelly Short, Marketing
Director, StrataTech Education Group. “We believe this 360 virtual
reality experience is the first of its kind in skilled trades education.
It offers a unique way to engage in a dialogue with students and parents
about what TWS offers, and the many career opportunities available for
welders,” Short said.

The TWS 360 VR Tour will be shown to visitors at the booth using the
latest in virtual reality technology. TWS will also provide cardboard VR
viewers for students to take home and view the video online through
YouTube, making the welding VR experience even more accessible. During
the FFA Convention & Expo, TWS will interact with attendees and the
public, using live Facebook events, Instagram, and Snapchat geofilters.
After the TWS 360 video launch at the FFA convention, TWS
representatives will show the video to students around the country
bringing 360 virtual reality welding into high school classrooms and
homes.

Students and parents who visit the booth will have an opportunity to
