Great feedback thanks very much Tali
I saw your interesting work in GradEx, but wondered if others might not know what you were referring to
If I had more notice of this I would definitely have participated, sorry to have missed it

> 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.
