Working with Multi-age Audiences
We’ve updated our Español Page with new activities from our partners at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez.
New Project:
AtomTouch
AtomTouch was created while working together with molecular dynamics simulation expert Dane Morgan and UW MRSEC education director Ann Lynn Gillian-Daniel. With the support of a MRSEC seed grant, MLI developed interactive 3-D simulation for mobile devices. The simulation was developed to help students understand the structures and attributes of particles at the molecular level, providing real-time feedback and responding to student’s actions.
Applications for the 2020 Research Experience for Teachers program are now open.
Our third educational game, Lost at the Forever Mine, is now on BrainPop!
