Feb. 27th KTU exhibitor!

Feb. 27th KTU exhibitor abstract!
"Exploring Structure Representations as Scientists and Engineers" by Virginia Career VIEW, School of Education

Participants will explore the range of characteristics that can be observed, created, and differ between a 2D and 3D representation of the same structure. The participants will have the opportunity to be scientists: describing and hypothesizing about the differences in the representations and how those difference may be important in understanding the structure. And the opportunity to be engineers: creating differing 3D representations of a structure based on a given 2D image. Resources regarding careers in engineering and science related to structure formation and tumor-research will be made available for participants to take with them.
