Science Within Reach: Who? What? Where? & Why?

What: Science Within Reach is a new enterprise devoted to improving science education at all levels.

Why: There are several motivations for using physical models:

  • as pedagogic tools for students or those unfamiliar with atomistic structures
  • as objects to generate or test theories (e.g., the structure of DNA)
  • as analogue computers (e.g., for measuring distances and angles in flexible systems)
  • as aesthetically pleasing objects on the boundary of art and science
  • affordable and portable
  • immediate tactile and visual messaging
  • easy interactivity for many processes

    Where: We are located in San Diego, CA.
