Scientists without Borders is a new initiative created by the New York Academy of Sciences. The venture aims to address health and other problems in the developing world by bringing together scientists from disparate specialties, organizations, and locations.

The first project of Scientists Without Borders will be a Web portal. This portal is to assemble information about the location, goals, needs, and other attributes of research-based and capacity-building projects taking place in sub-Saha more...

These materials include pictures and videos as well as ideas for scientific experiments in the classroom. Some institutes even develop computer games for an interactive learning process. Sabrina Graß from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory reviews some online materials to help you to enliven your lessons and excite students about science.

Site of Arvind Gupta, the professor of Computing Science who would like to be remembered as a tinkerer and a toy-maker. Books, articles, especially on science and maths and education, but also children's reading books just for the fun of it. He is famous for making science and maths fun using limited resources, as he explains in the short video on his website. A real treasure trove for the hands-on work with children. The license is not defined but the educational material is accessible for free more...
