Black Holes: Gravity's Relentless Pull
Space Telescope Science Institute
Baltimore, MD
Black holes are places where ordinary gravity has become so extreme that it overwhelms all other forces in the Universe. Once inside, nothing can escape a black hole's gravity -- not even light. Yet we know that black holes exist. We know how they are born, where they occur, and why they exist in different sizes. We even know what would happen if you fell into one. Our discoveries have revealed one of the strangest objects in the Universe, and there's still much we don't know. The nearest black hole is many lightyears away, so we don't have to worry about threats to the Earth. This is as close as you'll ever get to one. So come explore! eduweb's role: Concept and content development, interactivity design, visual design, illustration, animation, programming, and production.

Bridge to Classroom
California Alliance for Jobs
Oakland, California
The new Oakland Bay Bridge, currently under construction through 2007, is designed to withstand severe earthquakes. To explore the challenges facing bridge designers and builders, eduweb developed several interactive modules exploring the science, technology and people involved in the project: - Learn about plate tectonics and the coming quake.
- Design a bridge that can withstand a Maximum Seismic Event—then it to see how it fares!
- Explore the people and technologies involved in the new bridge.
eduweb's role: Concept and content development, visual design, illustration, animation, programming, and production.
