Comprehensive set of resources for the deaf and hard-of-hearing in STEM disciplines. There is an urgent need for a centralized information dissemination project providing a wide range of resources for professionals and parents responsible for the education of deaf students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Despite rapidly advancing technologies and expanding opportunities for deaf people to enter the workforce in STEM careers, the quality of science and mathematics education for deaf students has not improved substantially over the past 30 years. Today, the professionals who educate deaf students are in need of quality informational resources. This website was designed to meet this goals through the COMETS project, a continuation and expansion of a prototype resource developed during another NSF-funded project, the ?Access to English and Science Outreach Project (AESOP)?, a successful, three-year teacher preparation project funded between 1995 and 1998.   less

Profiled here are African American men and women who have contributed to the advancement of science and engineering. The accomplishments of the past and present can serve as pathfinders to present and future engineers and scientists. African American chemists, biologists, inventors, engineers, and mathematicians have contributed in both large and small ways that can be overlooked when chronicling the history of science. By describing the scientific history of selected African American men and women we can see how the efforts of individuals have advanced human understanding in the world around us.

"The Digital Library of Indigenous Science Resources (DLISR) is created by the non-profit organization Tapestry Institute, whose mission is to understand different ways of knowing, learning about, and responding to the natural world. We carry out original research on how people learn through science, art, story, and experience -- educational ways new to Western culture but traditional to Native peoples -- and carry out additional research on how such methods of learning can be applied effectively to public education venues. As it presently exists, DLISR is a prototype for culturally-competent cross-cultural digital library collections. It is intended for users of all cultures, but should be a particularly important resource for teachers and students in Native Studies programs and in tribal schools and colleges. It fits with DLESEâ??s mission of providing a digital library of earth science materials that meets the needs of a diverse community of users."   less
