• Breaking down barriers to a sport (sailingscuttlebutt.com) — A Boys & Girls Clubs program is using its Marina del Rey sailing facility alongside virtual reality to make the sport accessible for inland youth across Los Angeles County. By letting kids practice on VR systems at their neighborhood clubs, organizers hope to overcome transportation, cost, and fear barriers so more young people can eventually get on the water locally.
