About Us<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sparks is a team at Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center. We are working with Dr. Samira Kiani<\/strong> from the University of Pittsburgh Liver Research Center to devise innovative solutions to bridge the gap between scientists and the general public. The goal is to educate and inform people about advancements being made at the cutting edge of scientific research by bringing stories from within the laboratories into the public eye. By making it an interactive experience, we\u2019re hoping to help scientists gain more social engagement and involve the voices of equally important stakeholders in humanity\u2019s collective future \u2013 the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope to reach that goal by creating an interactive experience that allows people to participate in important conversations about advances in science and our collective future. The experience will be scalable, and convenient for scientists to use and promote, and it must be amplified beyond local impact. By partaking in this experience, the public will get to communicate with scientists, explore different stories and even be part of the story \u2013 and most importantly, to inform people that they too are vital driving agents of change, whose voices will ultimately guide humanity to its future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
