ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

We are working with DARPA on a project with a group called TopCoder, which crowdsources software.  It is an education program through which topcoder is connecting experienced coders with students.  We are also working with the Office of Naval Research through a project with a group called Iridescent, which is bringing together engineering students and informal science organizations to create and facilitate engineering activities for young people.

There are other projects in the pipeline that we can't yet talk about, but both DARPA and ONR have a stream of funding for STEM learning.
