Globe4D – Solar System & Alien workshop
TILBURG, NL, 2010-07-16
Kids from elementary school ‘De Zuidwester in Tilburg’ followed a Globe4D solar system workshop. They learned how the various planets in our solar system look like, how they came to be and what characteristics they have etc. The kids used this information to design alien lifeforms that could successfully withstand the temperatures on Venus, or be able to navigate on a gaseous giant like Jupiter.
This unique workshop is part of a larger project to explore the applicability of the Globe4D system to elementary and middle school education.
Globe4D @ SURF Seminar about Semantic Web
Globe4D has been presented at a seminar on Advanced Services for Researchers organized by SURF in Utrecht. During the seminar universities and business presented the possibilities of the semantic web and discussed ways how to find and share knowledge and information. After the presentations, participants of the symposium in collaboration with artists and creative people went into small groups where each worked on one service / web application to meet the new opportunities the semantic web could offer.
