Approximately 14 high school students will share their detailed designs in the Marquette Visualization Lab (MARVL) in Engineering Hall, 1637 W. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee.

MARVL contains a versatile large-scale immersive environment that consists of four display surfaces with stereoscopic viewing and motion tracking equipment available.
