Drawing upon Stevens' years of experience as the first college in the country to require students to own a computer (1982), early CIESE programs utilized mathematics 'tool' software for exploration of mathematical concepts. This site contains ongoing projects that connect students from across the United States through math and science projects such as “take a dip”, “noon day project” and many others. Most of the projects include a student gallery, teacher resource center and other helpful tools. Many of the links in the partnership section do not work but the collaborative projects page is a wealth of teacher and students opportunities for online collaboration with others from around the country in a context that is conducive to science and math education.
