Vermont EPSCoR Outreach Team Member Rachel Seigel - Rubenstein School Student Takes Playing in the Sandbox to New Heights

Mon, 05/23/2016 - 09:42
This summer, Seigel will collaborate with Dr. Donna Rizzo of the UVM College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, her graduate students, and two local high school students to make improvements to the Automated Reality Sandbox.

"When Rachel contacted me, her excitement was infectious and very indicative of why these systems are so popular with science museums and public outreach events," said Rizzo, who herself was mesmerized by her first experience playing in an AR Sandbox. "I've always wanted to find a way to use the ARS system to help explain some of the Vermont EPSCoR research on adaptation to climate change (RACC) we're doing in the Lake Champlain Basin. I'm hoping this summer that Rachel, in tandem with a few of my graduate students and some of the new EPSCoR undergraduate interns, might develop an educational module to help spread the fun and excitement of this research in a more hand-ons way."
