Abstract. This colloquium will introduce a method for learning to visualize 4-dimensional space, give participants a chance to work on some 4D visualization exercises in small groups, and then present a few solutions using interactive 4D graphics software. The exercises range from elementary to advanced, so everyone from first-year undergraduates to experienced geometers should find something they like.
