[community] Accessible physics simulations open design meeting (2-4p ET, Jul 21, 2016)

[Taliesin Love Smith]

Hi John,
PhET Interactive Simulations is a project, founded by Nobel Laureate, Carl
Wieman from the University of Colorado Boulder. The project was founded in
2002 to create open source tools for teaching science. The project has
developed over 130 high quality interactive science simulations. Now that
many of the sims are being ported to HTML5, the project is doing research
in how to make the sims accessible to more students.
