The WGBH/EDC ITEST Media Initiative is a collaboration between WGBH Educational Foundation and Education Development Center, Inc. to create a series of six individual project profile videos and multiple video clips submitted by projects and edited by WGBH.

The goals of "CSI: Creating Student Investigators" (formerly CSI: Arkansas) are twofold: to improve the science pedagogy (including the use of technology) employed by mid-South Delta region high school teachers and to improve science and technology learning by students with a concomitant increase in the number of students who enter post-secondary education, particularly those who chose STEM/IT career preparation. Workshops for teachers and students will be presented using forensic sciences as an integrating theme.

The Mississippi Valley State University project entitled "Information Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers Using Catfish and their Environment as a Model" will serve approximately 1,500 students (500 per year) and 75 teachers (25 per year) with at least two representatives from each county. The target population will be students and teachers from a ten county area in the Mississippi Delta. The project will serve a cohort of 20 ninth grade students during each summer and 500 students each academic year within a ten-county target area.
