EON Studio
EON Studio is software used to create 3D worlds (simulations). It can be used to create presentations, games, and interactive demonstrations. You can request a trial license of EON Studio (with limitations) here. If you are downloading this program for use with Woodford County Science, you may download the program here (faster download). All other uses must request a license from the support site linked above.
ArcGIS
ArcGIS is a suite of GIS (Geographic Information System) products such as ArcMap and ArcGlobe. It is used to create maps with layers of data such as water quality and county population. ArcGIS is not free software, and no demo is available.

Alice
ALICE is a 3D storytelling program similar to EON. ALICE is aimed at being simple to use, rather than being used by professionals to create simulations for real-life use. ALICE is open-source, and can be downloaded for free to Windows, Mac, and GNU/Linux.
Google SketchUp
Google SketchUp is a basic 3D modeling tool used mostly for architecture in real-life situations. We use it to create basic 3D objects to import into ALICE and EON Studio. Google SketchUp is a free program, and the basic version can be downloaded from the website. A pro version is also available.
