In collaboration with colleagues from Malmö University in Malmö Sweden, the AEL is helping to develop a mixed-reality experience that is a narrative of cultural moments from the first half of the twentieth century.

Currently 6.8 million children in America have asthma, a disease of the respiratory system that causes inflammation of the airways. An asthma action plan is an individualized health management plan that doctors give to their patients to help control their condition.
