# WWTA Pilot Program ## expand\_more The WorldWide Telescope Ambassadors Pilot program was funded by MicroSoft Research to develop innovative science curricula using the WWT visualization interface. In the spring of 2010, four WWT Ambassadors partnered with a 6th grade science teacher in Massachusetts to work with 83 students during their 6-week astronomy unit. Students worked in groups using WWT to research topics of their own choice and then presented what they learned and created. ## Microsoft Research Pilot Program Publications Download 5 citations download- [BibTeX](/bibcite/export?pager_style=standard_pager&number_of_items=10&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_projectpublications%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=116061&&&format=bibtex) - [EndNote X3 XML](/bibcite/export?pager_style=standard_pager&number_of_items=10&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_projectpublications%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=116061&&&format=endnote8) - [EndNote 7 XML](/bibcite/export?pager_style=standard_pager&number_of_items=10&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_projectpublications%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=116061&&&format=endnote7) - [Endnote tagged](/bibcite/export?pager_style=standard_pager&number_of_items=10&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_projectpublications%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=116061&&&format=tagged) - [Marc](/bibcite/export?pager_style=standard_pager&number_of_items=10&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_projectpublications%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=116061&&&format=marc) - [PubMedId](/bibcite/export?pager_style=standard_pager&number_of_items=10&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_projectpublications%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=116061&&&format=pubmed_id) - [RIS](/bibcite/export?pager_style=standard_pager&number_of_items=10&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_hwp_c_projectpublications%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=116061&&&format=ris) ### 2013 Udomprasert PS, Goodman AA, Wong C.
