- Science Resources in Education is an IRC sec. 501(c)(3) non-profit
- California corporation devoted to applying the latest insights from
- science and technology to improve the education of motivated students.
- We are developing a program to use computer based telecommunications to
- enhance K-12 science, math and engineering learning. Students will
- communicate with others around the world who share their interests and
- develop mentoring relationships with successful adult practitioners.
- We will explore a variety of simulations, classroom projects, career
- seminars, independent study activities, etc., which will employ
- existing resources of the Internet and databases to be developed. The
- services will be free (except for the user's Internet connection
- costs).
-
- HOWEVER, we need the guidance of the troops in the trenches! What do you
- need in your classroom? If you are a teacher or student with access to
- the Internet, the Freenets, Fidonet, or any conferencing system with a
- gateway to the Internet we would like to hear your wishlist for worldware.
- If you had access to the scientists at CERN in Switzerland, or at the Super
- Collider in Texas, or at a startup environmental science company in New
- Jersey, or to cosmologists at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in
- California..., how would you employ their skills to enrich your classes?
- If research data could be gathered by students connected to the Internet in
- 113 countries in addition to those in your classroom what questions would
- you ask?
-
- If you email your wishlist to us, we will add others to it and share
- the list with all the readers of this mailist and make every effort to
- incorporate them in our project.
