A new regional network is connecting K-12 schools, colleges, and universities in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties adjacent to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The network provides researchers, educators, and students full Internet access and free tools for text, hypertext, multimedia, audio, and video. The network is using this connectivity to participate in SIGGRAPH 95.

Most Monterey Bay educators are new to the Internet. This connection to Interactive Communities helps them see the information superhighway firsthand and explore how live interactive graphics can be used in the classroom. Collaborative relationships are being established before, during, and after SIGGRAPH 95.
