New Scene: Campground

A flexible space designed for connection, creativity, and collaboration. Students can watch videos together, read and discuss books, or take the stage for talent shows and performances. With customizable meeting areas and small offices for focused conversations or resources, this scene is perfect for classes, clubs, and school events of all kinds.

New Game: Last Card
 |
Last Card is a fast-paced card game for 2 - 4 players where the objective is simple: get rid of every card in your hand. Everyone starts with 5 cards and takes turns matching their card to the last played card by suit or rank. Watch out for wild Jokers! When a player uses a Joker they can choose a new suit and control the round.
To add this game to your world, search for 'Last Card App' in the SchoolSpace Scene Library.
New App: Student Gallery
 |
The Student Gallery lets students upload their artwork to a shared virtual exhibit. Once approved by an admin, submissions appear in the gallery for the school community to explore and celebrate student creativity.
To add this app to your world, search for 'Student Gallery App' in the SchoolSpace Scene Library.
Update: SSO Management
Our team has made some updates to SSO that will make troubleshooting access issues easier! When a student who should have access to a world gets an error message about SSO access, it can be hard for teachers to understand why this happened. The SchoolSpace team works hard to ensure the smoothest experience for your school that also protects your students. This update makes it easier for us to investigate why access was denied and support new schools with restricting access to worlds during onboarding. Reach out to support@schoolspace.io with any issues regarding SSO access.
Update: Inventory System
We've been expanding our SDK Inventory System and have added two new inventory types: Avatar Accessories and NPCs.
Including Avatar Accessories as an Inventory Type means developers can add the ability for people to unlock special clothing and accessories when a specific action is performed (e.g. I bought 4 chickens in Grow Together and unlocked a chicken suit). When a user chooses the Custom Avatar, they'll have access to any Avatar Accessories they've unlocked by playing games or using apps in SchoolSpace! If you're a developer and curious about building your own games or apps that include unlockable Avatar Accessories, reach out to support@schoolspace.io.
A frequent request from students is coming soon! The addition of NPCs as an Inventory Type means we can begin updating Virtual Pet so your pet can follow you around the world. Once Virtual Pet is updated we'll be sure to let you know. There are many ways NPCs can be used by developers to make SDK apps more dynamic. If you're a developer interested in building an SDK app that includes unlockable NPCs, reach out to support@schoolspace.io.
