NFL legends Steve Young and Jerry Rice have teamed up with Meta to unveil Creator Zone – a dedicated space for teens 13+ to use Meta Quest 2 headsets to experience and create in virtual reality.

Since 2006, Young and Rice have worked together to create technology hubs for children in underserved communities called “8 to 80 Legend Zones.” They’re now partnering with Meta to bring Meta Quest 2 headsets into their Atlanta facility via the addition of a “Creator Zone.” The goal is that the Creator Zone will give teens access to VR and inspire the next generation of metaverse creators.

To mark the opening of the Creator Zone, the Hall of Fame duo along with Meta and Atlanta children and dignitaries hosted a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at the Johnson STEM Activity Center, home of the 8 to 80 Legend Zone.
