The annual Holiday Lectures on Science, given for pre-college students, have been webcast live by A3MG since 1998. The on-demand version features synchronized slides and has been indexed so viewers can jump to a specific topic by clicking the links.
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Virtual Lab Series won the top prize in the 2002 Pirelli INTERNETional Award in the category of Multimedia Education coming from any school, college, and university or research center.
A3MG has played an integral role in the development of HHMI’s Virtual Labs project.
Bill Pietsch, A3MG’s President and Creative Director, has been involved with the Virtual Labs project since it’s beginning in 1996 with the Virtual Immunology Lab. Bill provides creative direction, 3-D modeling, and interface design to the ongoing Virtual Labs project.
Davey Thomas, A3MG’s Vice-President and Media Programmer, became involved with the Virtual Labs project in 1997 with his work on the Virtual Neurophysiology Lab. Davey provides programming and animation on the project.
To date, HHMI has released five Virtual Labs in the areas of immunology, neurophysiology, cardiology, and bacterial identification. The fifth Virtual Lab entitled the Transgenic Fly Lab (shown) was released in 2004.
