• Virtual exhibits bring timeless topics to the public using interactivity, on the web or on mobile devices.

• SpicyNodes is a tool for creating and presenting conceptual information using interactive "nodes".

• IDEA’s blog promotes the role of technology in advancing scientific & cultural literacy.

• Mobile apps are rapidly becomming a major way that people consume information. IDEA is actively developing apps for major platforms.

• ColoRotate is a free web site, and a $9 companion plugin for PhotoShop which allows artists and designers to edit and understand color in 3D.

• Other programs developed in the past have explored other kinds of questions about how to deliver knowledge to the public.
