Description
Summary:During the period covered by this project we have accomplished all the objectives described in our original proposal. The main achievement, however, has been to bring to the commercial market an excellent quality education software product. This highest level of quality has been recognized by the Software Publisher Association, which has awarded its most prestigious appreciation, the Codie Award, for our first product Ocean Expeditions: El Nino. With regards to commercialization, we have developed, as a Phase III project, a comprehensive business plan which we have used to find a publisher/distributor of our products (Tom Snyder Productions) and are presently updating to raise private funding. Also, we have been awarded a 5-year Cooperative Agreement by NASA to continue the development of our products and bring five new products to the education market by the early part of the millennium.
