We are currently updating this web site and moving from a static site, to a Drupal based, dynamic site. Thus, you will find parts of the site that are perhaps incomplete, or have formatting or other errors. To help us catch these errors we have added a feedback link towards the bottom right of this page, please use this, we need your feedback!
You don't need to be registered to make comments or access the forums, as all posts are moderated to ensure this is safe place for school students to access.
We hope that you will bear with us, as we go through this transition to a much more interactive and social future.
Thank you.

The Wolfram Programming Challenge 2012 begins in April but you can register your school today here :
http://www.wolfram.com/programming-challenge-2012/
The Wolfram Programming Challenge 2012 is a chance to get your students programming and contributing their creations to the Wolfram Demonstrations Project. As well as learning programming, students will have to exercise their creative and presentation skills. The competition also gives students the opportunity for the real-world experience of getting their work published online—a great addition to UCAS applications and CVs.
Who Can Enter :
The competition will be open to students at school in the UK in years 10–13 and starts in April 2012. A full set of details and rules will be sent out closer to the competition date.
Video is from the 2012 Learning Without Frontiers Conference.

Feet CT Scan Present3D Volume Render
Submitted by phil lavery on Thu, 01/12/2011 - 15:39
This is a test volume render in Present3D using a Colour Look Up Table to hide and colour selected parts of the CT data. The movie was captured using Present3D's save to image sequence feature. There were three sequences imported and combined using Apple Motion. The original sequences were captured in side by side stereo, this is the right eye.
Created by Phil Lavery, Digital Learning Foundation, as part of the JMVP (Joint Medical Visualisation Project ) with The University of Aberdeen Medical School and the Digital Learning Foundation.

As part of our research visit to CERN, for our LHC 3D show, we were extremely fortunate to be given the opportunity to do a short interview with Prof John Ellis.
This is the first part of series of short interviews from that visit.
You can change the 3D viewing options, by clicking on the 3D button at the bottom of the video.
A gallery of images from the LHC visit can be found here : Gallery
