Gulf of Mexico Information Network
(GIN) is a developmental effort designed to make Gulf of Mexico ecosystem data and information readily available and to facilitate communications between parties involved in Gulf of Mexico projects and programs. It includes Environmental Challenge Fact Sheets with topics such as Marine Debris, Freshwater Inflow, and Be a Gulf Guardian. Be sure to check out the big muddy adventure; it’s all about the Mississippi river.

Systems Engineering

The Systems Engineering Project – The LEGO Ski Resort
After a week's experience in engineering basics, 20 educators planned, designed, tested, built, modified, programmed, marketed, and operated this LEGO ski resort in less than four days time. It was a monumental effort, requiring communication between groups of "specialists" in their field of LEGO Engineering: Power & Programming, Structures & Mechanisms, and Systems & Architecture.

It’s So Simple – This lesson may be used as an introduction to Simple Machines. It may be applied to various grade levels. Students will receive a visual explanation of how machines we see in everyday life work. Students will also learn the need for these machines and why we must use them in our everyday life.
