Visualization in Science Education Outreach

The Visualization in Science Education project is funded by the NC GlaxoSmithKline Foundation to support the Mathematics and Science Collaboratory of the Friday Institute. This project is engaged in basic research into how graphics and other visiospatial materials are used in science education as well as looking at how to more effectively produce, test, and disseminate these materials to classrooms.
