Abstract

OssaBEST is a three-year NSF-funded project to prepare middle and high school teachers and students to use advanced information technologies and integrate them into daily classroom activities. The project comprises two information technology tracks, namely, a sensors track and a multimedia track. The activities and deliverables of both tracks are centered on Ossabaw Island, Georgia's third largest barrier island and the state's first heritage preserve. The ultimate goal of the project is to motivate and enable a larger number of students to pursue computing careers such as information technology, computer science or related science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.
