The Waksman Student Scholars Program (WSSP), also known as ITEST project Conducting Authentic Molecular Biology and Genomics Research in High Schools, provides opportunities for high school students and their teachers to conduct an authentic research project in molecular biology and bioinformatics and publish their findings. Resources used and developed as part of this project can be found by clicking on the link. On the WSSP site, one can find teacher and student notes, games, powerpoint files, problem sets and answer keys, videos, a DNA sequency translator, DNA apps, equipment and supply

ITEST project Scaling up an Innovative Approach for Attracting Students to Computing shares its materials and lesson plans developed from its workshop series on its website.
