Cornell Lab of Ornithology has just uploaded a new page about ornithology-related science project resources.

They tell you how to design equipment, search for information, even prepare for judging ... all from their own personal experience!

The Archimedes Initiative is an effort formed to promote science literacy and increase the number of scientists and engineers in the United States. This initial site is focused around our thematic video content, involving participants in competitive science fairs.
