Project coordinator for the development of a tablet application: "Global Change". The “Global Change app” is an interactive teaching tool for engaging students with the interrelationships between the global carbon and water cycles. It demonstrates the vital role of the stomata in leaves of plants and the impact of human activities on climate change. The app integrates scientific concepts about these ecological processes with design and animation in an engaging and educational way.
