project, Award #ESI-0137811
VisTE is a National Science Foundation funded project,
which promotes technological literacy by linking to the Standards
for Technological Literacy through the study of visualization, science,
and technology. Over a three year period, our project team will
develop, pilot, and evaluate 12 units for technology education in
grades 8-12.
