ParkApps|About

ParkApps is a partnership partially funded by the National Science Foundation (#1422764) to build tools, applications and games for teaching and learning in natural settings like national, state, and local parks. The overarching goal is to enhance our understanding of creation through the use of innovative tools and technologies. We continue to build and test our applications; we have published or presented in the following venues:
