ASRA
has endorsed the following initiatives in Alberta:
Constructing
Knowledge Communities: The project plan involves a partnership
with government, industry and post-secondary institutions to develop
an innovative model of teacher development that will develop a province-wide
network of school-based Centres of Excellence in technology integration
and contribute to educational research into technology integration.
SCIberMentor:
An e-mail mentoring program aimed at girls ages 11 to 18 who have
an interest in science and engineering. The girls will be linked
by e-mail with mentors, who include female science and engineering
university students as well as practicing women scientists and engineers.
The program's main goal is to expand young girls' awareness of opportunities
and career paths in science and engineering.
ALTA:
A computer connected network of cosmic ray detector systems deployed
in Alberta high schools and colleges. Using this and the Global
Satellite Positioning System researchers search for high-energy
cosmic ray showers. This project involves Alberta schools/colleges
in cutting-edge research and physics education.
Science
Alberta Foundation: As the science centre without walls,
Science Alberta Foundation creates fun, hands-on science programs
that travel to communities throughout the province.
