The first is to reinforce math and engineering concepts through the design and physical construction of an augmented reality sandbox. The second goal is to use the state-of-the-art technology to help Earth Science students learn how to interpret topographic maps and better understand stream erosion and landscape development.”

Grant: $2,199

MSE rooms are evidence-based environments for students with a variety of needs.”
