Mapping the Invisible: Mitzi Vernon at TEDxVirginiaTech

Mitzi Vernon is a Professor in Industrial Design at Virginia Tech and has earned her Master of Science degree in Engineering and Product Design from Stanford University. She is the principal investigator and founder of the Fields Everywhere Project, an effort to teach the fundamentals of physics to children. Through this project, she has been awarded two grants from the National Science Foundation and has assembled a team of students, faculty, and advisors to support the work of Fields Everywhere. She has also worked on another research project supported through an NSF grant that examines the design studio as an educational model for the design of software-intensive systems. Combined with the Fields Everywhere project, she hopes to form a proposal for a new educational model of teaching science. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
