The Center's outreach goals are to leverage our unique human and technical resources to promote a better understanding of the potential uses of computer graphics, ignite students' interest, educate teachers, and reach out to ever larger communities through the World Wide Web. Our strategy is to build strong programs at local levels where we can support direct interaction between program participants and our Center scientists, and then pool our combined experiences into Center-wide efforts such as the Web-based Academic Resource Project (WARP) that can affect many thousands of people. The Center's outreach programs all work to expand awareness of the relatively new field of computer graphics and encourage continued learning and participation, especially among those groups that have historically not been adequately represented. All sites are involved in establishing outreach goals and provide input to the Outreach Director through an Advisory Group for Education and Outreach that includes both external and internal members from each site. Center outreach programs have directly affected almost 1,000 K-12 students and 150 K-12 teachers. Center educational programs directly affect almost 700 undergraduate and graduate students. Single day events, talks at educational conferences, and lab tours and demonstrations have reached over 9,000 people. The Center's work with science museums and television programs reaches thousands (for example, 52,000 people have visited the Sciencenter in Ithaca in which the Center has an exhibition). | |
