Our goal in creating this interactive portion of Experience Nicaragua was to allow our site to grow in depth and value as visitor's like you added their ideas, their perspectives, and their original material like essays and photographs.
In addition to gathering new material, we wanted to add a little bit of edutainment -- learning and fun mixed in together. That's what the various simulators and Java programs are for.
