- GirlTECH - Cynthia Lanius; Center for Research on Parallel Computation (CRPC)
GirlTECH was a teacher training and student council program that encouraged young women to pursue careers in mathematics and science, offering intensive technology training to explore innovative teaching strategies for gender equity in the classroom through a training period at The Rice School and Rice University in Houston, Texas. GirlTECH lesson plans were designed by participating teachers to take full advantage of Internet resources and teach standard concepts in mathematics and sciences in new and exciting ways. The site includes lessons and Internet projects from 1995-2006.

- NASA CONNECT - Dr. Thomas E. Pinelli, Distance Learning Officer, NASA LaRC Office of Education
An annual series of free integrated mathematics, science, and technology instructional distance learning programs for students in grades 5-8. Each program has three components: a 30-minute TV broadcastthat can be viewed live or taped for later use; an interactive Web activity for the classroom; and a lesson guide describing a hands-on activity. (Downloadable lesson guides from previous years are available from the Library of Shows.) Register at the site for e-mail dates of upcoming shows, show summaries, and PDF versions of the lesson guides. Endorsed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), NASA CONNECT supports national mathematics, science, and technology standards.
