Education & Outreach:

Partnership with the Preuss School

• Developing compelling visual images, movies and 3D interactive graphics packages that can be used in teaching Earth science.
• Discussing the scientific content of the developed lesson plans.
• Providing an Earth Science hands-on-learning lesson book (developed primarily by IRIS www.iris.edu) that has over 30 hands-on-learning lessons that can be used instantly in the classroom and further developed through the OptIPuter project to expand the content to include 3D graphical components.
• Developing educational teaching modules that can be used on the GEOWALL.
