Presentation We use live presenters for our demonstrations – the faculty that have been trained to use the sphere use it to enhance their lectures. Once open to the public, we will hire a part-time person to run the sphere for various groups.

Unique Aspects Only institute of higher education to house SOS Potential partnerships with local universities and K-12 education Located in the College of Education Create custom content to correlate to VA SOL curriculum Develop classroom lessons to incorporate the sphere Integrate with the GLOBE program Used to train pre-service teachers Resources at the university GIS and Computer Science Departments Students and faculty IT SHENAIR

Developing Ideas Graduate student developing custom software to allow the user to upload a .jpeg file without needing to manipulate GIS software Student working on understanding how to take maps from ArcGIS either directly to the sphere or to the sphere as quickly as possible.  This will involve scripting within GIS and a bit of an interface with the SOS software. Partnerships with local community groups Collaboration with K-12 schools Air Quality simulations

Custom Content First air quality projections by Corbin Davis, senior, Geography Ozone AQI from EPA website
