This simulation game challenges children to design a satellite that will send TV signals to places far across the country. Central to the design process is exploring the ways that high technologies are the products of human ingenuity—and that Littleton, Colorado is a community rich in such inventive people.

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.

The DuPage Children's Museum was taking their popular in-school design program to the Web—but how? Technical challenges abounded, from school-age computers to district firewalls. But after extensive development and formative testing, we had an innovative and award-winning site. At school or home, kids tackle design challenges with the help of a real engineer, who consults with each kid live, via an interactive whiteboard and chat room. Empowering for kids (and engineers), this program is available at no cost for schools and homeschoolers.

eduweb developed this Web site for the Arizona Science Center in collaboration with Arizona's power utility. The site features in-depth content about solar energy andelectricity, plus an atom-scale exploration of a solar cell. Future plans include live data from solar power stations throughout Arizona.
