 The tour began in our main Showcase area, where the students gathered to watch large-scale visualizations on the Showcase Display Wall. We displayed a variety of colorful scientific models and high-resolution nature imagery, which sparked plenty of curiosity and questions from the group. The tour began in our main Showcase area, where the students gathered to watch large-scale visualizations on the Showcase Display Wall.
