Students at St. James School in Wilkinsburg use EventScope (www.eventscope.org), an interactive computer interface, to compare Earth and Mars. EventScope was created by a team of experts from Carnegie Mellon's STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, the Robotics Institute and the Center for Innovation in Learning, and from the University of Pittsburgh's Department of Geology and Planetary Science. By using Eventscope students in many Pittsburgh regional schools are able to navigate models of NASA sites on Mars and acess data from NASA and Carnegie Mellon robotics expeditions.
