Another NSF-funded cyber-enabled classroom tool is Amira Visualization. Wesley Evan, a Louisiana State University Ph.D. student in physics, shows local high school students how to use the Amira visualization package to understand fluid flow in the eye. On April 20, 2007, graduate students from the National Science Foundation's Computational Fluid Dynamics IGERT (Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship) program at Louisiana State University (LSU) organized a workshop for 32 high school students and their teachers from Glen Oaks and Lee High Schools in Baton Rouge, La. Students spent the day at LSU's Center for Computation and Technology taking part in hands-on tutorials instruction to run black hole simulations on the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) supercomputers, and doing scientific visualization using the Amira software.
