"Brian Hayes explores this problem in the title essay of his recent book, "Group Theory in the Bedroom." Double entendres aside, the "group" in question here is a collection of mathematical actions - all the possible ways you could flip, rotate or overturn the mattress so that it still fits neatly on the bed frame."

"Dallas Personal Robotics Group (DPRG), founded in June of 1984, is one of the nation's oldest special interest groups dedicated to the development and use of personal robotics. The DPRG is a 501(c)(3) not for profit educational organization.

John Burroughs High School in Burbank, Calif. David Vezina had given up a job piloting Learjets to teach kids about aviation. In addition to providing real airplanes to high schools and other interested groups, Build A Plane is working with the National Educational Association, the Wathen Foundation, the FAA, NASA and several key aviation and aerospace organizations to create an aviation-based curricula that teaches science, technology, engineering and math. And for groups that don't have the room or the faculty to construct real aircraft, Build A Plane will soon release a software package and lesson guide that will allow kids to build airplanes virtually.

The National Air and Space Museum offers a variety of free educational programs for school groups and organized youth groups. Here you will find information on educational activities at the Museum as well as resources provided for classroom learning.

"low-cost, "hands-on" engineering projects for use in middle schools math, science and technology classes. The announcement attracted over 60 entries from teachers, engineers, and concerned educational and professional groups. A panel of middle school teachers and engineers helped to plan the project and evaluated the entries. The resulting 'IDEAS' projects have been adapted from those entries."

"Educators sharing bookmarks and best practice. We have a set of standard tags to help us share things that you may use in addition to your tags. (You may subscribe to these tags via RSS feed by subject area, which makes it very useful.)"

Yelena and Maria, the founders of the Moebius Noodles community and mathusiastic moms. We are inviting you to join ?Moebius Noodles Improv,? a parent and educator online class, during the first three weeks of November. Click "Participate" button to sign up: http://p2pu.org/en/groups/moebius-noodles-improv/content/full-description/ In our previous classes, we showed quite a few games for teaching advanced math concepts to young children in a relaxing and fun way that engages the entire family. This time around, we will teach you how to create your own games that fit your child?s unique interests and learning preferences. We will give you the confidence to improvise and create math games on the fly. The class is a cooperative, peer-to-peer gathering of adventurous grown-ups who want to enjoy advanced math with babies, toddlers and young kids. Think of it more like a get-together at your favorite coffee shop than a ?prim and proper? class.

"Promotes engineering thinking and practice in formal and informal educational settings for pre-K through high school aged students, their teachers, group leaders, and caregivers. We also engage in shared scholarship to determine better ways to accomplish our goals, assess our impacts, and evaluate our progress. We seek to open the doors to engineering to all young people as a future career or as a way of finding solutions to everyday challenges."

Build the Station Simulation: Educator Guide -- Grades K-8 Just as five space agencies cooperated to build the International Space Station, students can work together to build a paper model of the world's largest orbiting laboratory. Teams take on the roles of international partners as they learn about and assemble portions of the model. During a mock summit, each team briefs the group about their section of the model. The teams then assemble the entire model to complete the space station. The guide includes student sheets, parts of the model, instructions for holding a summit, and facts about the station.

"The mission of Stennis and her embarked Air Wing (CVW-9) is to conduct sustained combat air operations while forward deployed in the global arena. The embarked Air Wing consists of eight to nine squadrons. Attached aircraft are Navy and Marine F/A-18 Hornet, EA-6B Prowler, MH-60R, MH-60S, and E-2C Hawkeye. The Air Wing can engage enemy aircraft, submarines, and land targets, or lay mines hundreds of miles from the ship.
