Eritrea Science
Project (Netafrica) (http://www.msnucleus.org/international/index.html)
"Over the last 20 years over 300 scientists, mathematicians, engineers,
and educators have been involved with the development and implementation of our
science curriculum (Integrating Science, Math, and Technology) in the United
States. With today's technology we feel we can assist countries who require a
low cost, hands-on science curriculum. To test our hypothesis we intend to conduct
a pilot program in Eritrea, Africa. ... The Math/Science Nucleus has been experimenting
with Electronic Textbooks for over 10 years. We have concluded that pen computing
is a technology that can assist both teachers in their instruction of content
and for children to refine their fine motor skills (writing). In the last 3 years,
the advent of browser software has given us an opportunity to transfer our materials
to an easy-to-use format. Over the last year we have been transferring over 6000
pages of science curriculum (elementary-secondary) for all the world to access."
Federation of American Scientists (http://www.fas.org)
The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) "is the oldest organization
dedicated to ending the worldwide arms race, achieving complete nuclear disarmament,
and avoiding the use of nuclear weapons for any purpose." Whatever one's
views are on its goals, a search of the site yields valuable information on a
country's armament found only with difficulty elsewhere.
