<p dir="ltr">We have created some amazing 3d tactile graphics for STEM classes. Although if the chemistry dept. wants to own one and let you use it, you get the benes without the fumes or cost.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Not much point in duplicating the devices.</p>

have questionable fumes. I think those two things limit my desire to get one. We’d have to create a room for it. So far, other departments have been kind enough to lend us theirs when we need it. I’m still considering. Do you recommend one?

and still have another $15,000 to spend. The donor wants to see her money spent so we are trying to decide what we might buy that fulfills the following criteria (a) is useful to our students and won’t be obsolete quickly (b) if not directly useful to students,
then useful in increasing awareness in staff and faculty (c) is somewhat showy and/or state-of-the-art so that the donor can be proud.
