NetsBlox opens up the internet with its vast array of public domain data sources and services making it possible to create STEM projects, such as displaying seismic activity anywhere on Earth using an interactive Google Maps background. Similarly, weather, air pollution, and many other data sources such as the Open Movie Database and the Sloan Digital Sky Server are available. NetsBlox also supports collaborative editing similar to Google Docs.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080\"><a style=\"color: #008080\" href=\"http:\/\/netsblox.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">netsblox.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Qr7Oae\" role=\"listitem\">\n<div class=\"OxAavc NVbRL\">\n<div class=\"pYfr3c\">\n<div class=\"prOLdf\">\n<h2>NetsBlox PI<\/h2><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3 people-swatch\"><div class=\"people-photo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lab.vanderbilt.edu\/live\/person\/akos-ledeczi\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-main\/lab-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/211\/2024\/03\/download-142x190.png\" alt=\"image_thumb\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"people-stats\"><strong class=\"people-name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lab.vanderbilt.edu\/live\/person\/akos-ledeczi\/\">Akos  Ledeczi<\/a><\/strong><div class=\"people-title people-title-grid\">Professor, Computer Science<br \/><\/div><div class=\"people-email\"><a href=\"mailto:akos.ledeczi@Vanderbilt.Edu\"><i class=\"fa fa-envelope\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> <\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>NetsBlox Personnel<\/h2><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3 people-swatch\"><div class=\"people-photo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lab.vanderbilt.edu\/live\/person\/devin-jean\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-main\/lab-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/211\/2024\/07\/download-21-e1721232103723-142x190.jpeg\" alt=\"image_thumb\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"people-stats\"><strong class=\"people-name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lab.vanderbilt.edu\/live\/person\/devin-jean\/\">Devin   Jean<\/a><\/strong><div class=\"people-title people-title-grid\">PhD Student, Computer Science <br \/><\/div><div class=\"people-email\"><a href=\"mailto:devin.c.jean@vanderbilt.edu\"><i class=\"fa fa-envelope\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> <\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3 people-swatch\"><div class=\"people-photo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lab.vanderbilt.edu\/live\/person\/gordon-stein\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-main\/lab-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/211\/2024\/07\/headshot-Gordon-Stein-142x190.jpg\" alt=\"image_thumb\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"people-stats\"><strong class=\"people-name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lab.vanderbilt.edu\/live\/person\/gordon-stein\/\">Gordon  Stein<\/a><\/strong><div class=\"people-title people-title-grid\">LIVE Postdoctoral Fellow<br \/><\/div><div class=\"people-email\"><a href=\"mailto:gordon.stein@vanderbilt.edu\"><i class=\"fa fa-envelope\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> <\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2 role=\"textbox\">External Collaborators<\/h2>\n<p>Brian Broll, Angel AI<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"textbox\">Core Publications<\/h2>\n<p>C Brady, B Broll, G Stein, D Jean, S Grover, V Catet\u00e9, T Barnes, \u00c1 L\u00e9deczi. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2590118422000533\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #008080\">Block-based abstractions and expansive services to make advanced computing concepts accessible to novices<\/span><\/a>.
