3D Weather Data Visualization and Analysis

Powered By: Mississippi State and National Science Foundation

The 3D Weather project seeks to A) improve secondary science education’s capacity to foster scientific and computational knowledge and literacy; B) improve secondary science teachers’ competency to innovate science learning by integrating large scale-atmospheric data and computational thinking and practices into science instruction; and C) make a significant contribution to the body of knowledge regarding how to create STEM education pathways by harnessing the data revolution.
