Welcome to the Exploratoria home page!
Exploratoria is a GitHub Organization. Feel free to request an invitation to join.
-
To devise free, open source scripts that help visualize and further understanding of scientific, technical, engineering and mathematical (STEM) concepts
-
To supply simple yet powerful scripts that help engineers and designers to create experiments without having to be dedicated software 'full stack programmers'
-
To help youngsters and oldsters delve into new topics with a hands-on, active, 'I can play with this' approach
-
To create apps that work not just on computers but also on mobile devices such as phones and tablets
-
To help envision new types of visualizations
-
To help people understand, tackle and push the envelope with increasingly complicated tasks based on the scientific method
The intention is to provide scripts dealing with the following categories:
- Aerospace
- Astronomy & Solar System
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Electricity & Magnetism
- Energy
- Engineering & Structure
- Geology
- Heat & Temperature
- Human Anatomy
- Language & Speech
- Light & Color
- Materials
- Mathematics & Patterns
- Mechanics, Dynamics & Motion
- Navigation & Mapping
- Smell - Taste - Touch
- Sound & Hearing
- Vision & Eye Logic
- Waves & Resonance
- Weather & Water
Noticeably absent are categories pertaining to computers, the Internet, digital media and the like. This website uses technology to explain, show and demonstrate the physical and theoretical aspects of our world. It attempts to achieve the best of what technology should do in the real world.
