Educational Network Venture Into Science/Math Instruction, Outreach, and North Carolina Standards (ENVISIONS Partnership)
This three-year project is a partnership with Onslow County Schools and benefits elementary and middle school teachers and students.

K12 Outreach for Rice Blast Genomics
The NSF funded project was a collaboration between 6 universities: NC State University,, Texas A&M University, University of Arizona, Purdue University, University of Kentucky and Ohio State University.

Broader Impacts Workshop
A workshop for faculty and staff at NCSU to guide faculty to resources useful for future planning, proposing and carrying out K-12 programs.

Visualization in Science Education Outreach

Science and Mathematics Colloquies
an after-school high school program funded by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund that provided opportunities for in depth exploration of current topics such as green chemistry, chaos & fractals and genomics.

Student Research Exploration and Precollege Outreach Program
funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to bring high school and undergraduate students into research laboratories

EMPOWER
Enriching Middle schools: Project Outreach to Widen Educational opportunities for Rural students. A project to transform science education in Eastern North Carolina's rural middle schools. Funded by NSF Grant # ESI-9619024

Pleiades
A graduate student operated Astronomy Outreach Project targeting young women. This service project was funded by a NASA IDEAS grant.

Team Science
A joint effort of The Science House, the Physics and Chemistry Departments and the College of Education and Psychology at NCSU. The goal of the Team Science program was to provide to physics and chemistry students in rural and small town high schools the same learning opportunities available to their peers in the metropolitan schools of North Carolina.
