File:Tangent 1.jpg]]The Wolfram Demonstrations Project is an open-source collection of interactive programmes called Demonstrations. It is hosted by Wolfram Research. At its launch, it contained 1300 demonstrations but has grown to over 10,000. The site won a Parents' Choice Award in 2008.
Wolfram Research's staff organizes and edits the Demonstrations, which may be created by any user of Mathematica, then freely published[http://www.scientific-computing.com/education/archives/29 Throwing beanbags in Mathematica 6], Scientific Computing, May 17, 2007. and freely downloaded.
Technology
The Demonstrations run in Mathematica 6 or above and in Wolfram CDF Player, which is a free modified version of Wolfram Mathematica[http://www.maa.org/editorial/mathgames/mathgames_05_02_07.html Math Games] MAA Online, May 1, 2007. and available for Windows, Linux, and macOS[http://www.scientificcomputing.com/Adventures-with-the-Wolfram-Demonstrations-Project.aspx Adventures with the Wolfram Demonstrations Project] John Wass, Scientific Computing and can operate as a web browser plugin. Demonstrations can also be embedded into a website.{{cite web |last=Kaurov |first=Vitaliy |title=Add a Wolfram Demonstration to Your Site in One Easy Step |date=24 April 2012 |url=http://blog.wolfram.com/2012/04/24/add-a-wolfram-demonstration-to-your-site-in-one-easy-step/}} Each Demonstration page includes a snippet of JavaScript code in the Share section of the sidebar.
The Demonstrations typically consist of a direct user interface to a graphic or visualization that dynamically responds to user actions. Each Demonstration also has a description of the concept. The website is organized by topic, for example: science,[http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/molecular-wolfram-demonstrations.html Molecular Wolfram Demonstrations] ScienceBase art, and biology.
