| BugScope |
The Bugscope project is an educational outreach program for K-12 classrooms. The project provides a resource to classrooms so that they may remotely operate a scanning electron microscope to image "bugs" at high magnification. The microsope is remotely controlled in real time from a classroom computer of the internet using a web browser. |
| Chickscope |
Using computers in the classroom with access to the internet, students and teachers were able to access data generated from the latest scientific instruments. The goals include an increased understanding of the process of gathering scientific data and the opportunity to interact with scientists from several disciplines and students in other classrooms. The access to unique scientific resources and expertise provides motivation for learning science and mathematics and stimulates interest in the scientific world. |
| Project Interactivate |
The goals of Project Interactivate are the creation, collection, evaluation and dissemination of interactive java-based courseware for exploration in science and mathematics. |
| SpaceWander |
An exciting trip into space through an interactive website. |
