Founded as a nonprofit organization in 1992, CIPE promotes computer-aided visualization as a tool for inquiry-based learning. In support of that mission, it develops instructional materials and conducts workshops that use digital image analysis and geographic information systems technologies as platforms for teaching about science, mathematics, and technology. CIPE's hands-on workshops and award-winning materials support standards-based education in science, mathematics, social studies, technology education, vocational education, and many other disciplines. In 2007, CIPE became part of Science Approach, LLC.
