Description
Cell Biology - Anti-virus
This is a short video made as an educational introduction to viruses and how the human immune system counteracts them. The computer graphics involved required both skill and computational power, since millions of cells, molecules, and atoms had to be virtually simulated, rendered, and presented. Accompanying the video is the making-of guide as well as a short teacher's guide for suggestions on further educational exploration based on various scenes in the video.
The uploaded videos will play in the latest QuickTime as well as many other video players such as VLC and MPlayer. In case you don't have the required software, it's also available for streaming online at Vimeo.
Welcome to the second FreshBrain General Scholarship project.
This will be the workspace where you post information about your project. It is VERY important that you use this environment to save everything related to the creation of your project. You will be judged based not only on the final submission, but the process that you used.
Before we get into the details of what you need to use this environment for, lets talk about the project itself. As you read under the description of the scholarship, it is really up to you as to what you create. All that we ask is that it is in one of the technology areas that are a part of FreshBrain. Those include:
- Development
- Eco/Green
- Gaming
- Graphic Design
- Music
- Video/Movies
- Web
- Venture
You decide what you do. You might check out the rest of the website to see what others have created or to look for ideas. Talk to your friends. Look around on the internet. Then pick something and do it. Maybe one of the tools on the site can help you. Show us what you've got!
There are three things that you should do (two are a MUST) as you complete your project and before you submit.
- Use the Update capability of the project to post updates along the way. These are a kind of very simple progress report. It is up to you as to how often you create an update. Make sure they are full of good content. This is optional but will be considered in reviewing your submission.
- Create a summary of the steps that you took to complete your project and create your submission. This should be a simple microsoft word, open office writer or text document. Upload this to the File Manager capability of the project. You MUST do this.
- Upload your finished project to the File Manager. You MUST do this.
That's it. Have fun. And remember, you have to go back to the scholarship page and submit the URL to this project workspace to be considered!
