The Crime Scene Information Technology (CSIT) project directed by the New York Hall of Science (NYHOS) seeks to infuse middle school and high school science curriculum with authentic, inquiry based, forensic science investigations that incorporate IT applications and introduce educators and students from underserved communities to IT career opportunities. As a comprehensive project, the project directly serves 60 teachers and 300 students in grades six through twelve, 600 guidance counselors and 200 school personnel including school administrators.

The project, “DataTools" (formerly named "Expanding the Data Cycle: Empowering Middle Level Teachers and Students to Integrate Information Technology, Data Skills and Science Content”) provides middle–school teachers with the ability to access and analyze Earth science datasets, use data analysis tools (IT), and adapt them in a way that addresses both the interests and curricular needs of their students. It also enables the students of the participants to use Earth science data in a meaningful way and teach them skills with IT tools that they will carry with them in the future.

This project, "Highly Interactive, Fun Internet Virtual Environments in Science (HI-FIVES): Using Web–based Gaming to Improve Student Comprehension of Information Technology in Science," will give teachers experiences using web–based gaming and simulation software. Teachers will use authoring systems to develop educational games and try the games out in their classrooms. In the process, they will be learning content as well as programming and technology skills. Teacher participants will be recruited from an existing NSF–funded teacher fellowship program at North Carolina State University.

This comprehensive project for 60 middle and high school teachers (who will pass along their learning to 10,000 students) uses inquiry-based education developed from research projects at Moss Landing Marine Labs to teach biotechnology and IT skills. Participants learn how biotechnology is used to address scientific questions and how resulting data is analyzed, manipulated, displayed, and shared.

This is a three-year project designed to build the capacity of high school teachers to provide physical computing (an emerging field in pre-college education) experiences for their students. Physical computing is a participatory activity in which the computer becomes aware of the human and produces environments or objects that express the technical, aesthetic, social or political vision of the human designer in ways that amuse, amaze or inform.

This project is a collaboration among the Santa Fe Indian School, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, and Pueblo Indian schools partnering to provide students, teachers, and tribal mentors with experiences using GPS/GIS, mathematical modeling and computer graphics. The work is based on a model in the Santa Fe Indian School in which curriculum is designed around problems and practices in traditional Pueblo Indian culture and life. Selected students and teachers will participate in a summer program, with coordinated follow-up sessions during the following school year.

The “Science Mission to Planet Earth (SMPE): IT–Integrated Coastal Education” project takes advantage of the Louisiana coastal features to integrate science and mathematics for students and teachers in grades 6-8 in urban and rural settings. This project will involve 200 middle school students and 20 teachers per year (a total of 600 middle school students and 60 teachers over the three-year period) from urban and rural settings.

The "Silicon Prairie Initiative for Robotics in IT" (SPIRIT), a collaboration between the University of Nebraska and the Omaha Public Schools, is a three-year Comprehensive ITEST Project for Students and Teachers. SPIRIT targets 105 science and mathematics teachers in grades 7-8, each of whom receives more than 100 hours of summer professional development and 50 hours of follow-up support in developing in-school curricular activities related to educational robotics. More than 9,000 students are expected to participate through in-school and summer programs.

Boston College partners with scientists, science educators, guidance counselors and public school teachers and students to develop, evaluate and disseminate IT materials for integration into existing field-based urban ecology modules (such as the Ecoscenario module in FOSS and the bioacoustics module in Active Physics) for grades 7–12 in six schools within the Boston Public School district. The goal is to use information technology to engage 100–400 students and approximately 100 teachers in real–life, field–based, local investigations in urban ecology.

Comprehensive Information Technology Education in Rural Appalachia (CITERA) emphasizes career and educational pathways and provides information technology (IT) skills and knowledge to North Central West Virginia 7th through 9th grade educators and students. CITERA seeks to meet the current need for technology workers in the United States by introducing students to IT concepts and careers at an early age through workshops and student IT-STEM modules.
