Open Science Grid
"The Open Science Grid is a distributed computing infrastructure for large-scale scientific research, built and operated by a consortium of universities, national laboratories, scientific collaborations and software developers...
..to facilitate the use of cyberinfrastructure in secondary science education, OSG is collaborating with the NSF pilot project “Interactions in Understanding The Universe” (I2U2), as well with the TeraGrid in its Education and Training activities. The Mariachi experiment to detect extreme energy cosmic rays (EECRs) is also a member of OSG and participates in education and outreach activities."

Interactions in Understanding The Universe
Worth keeping an eye on...
"I2U2 will develop and maintain a portfolio of laboratories for a diverse range of audiences and will provide tools and support services to assist developers in creating these educational resources. These laboratories break new ground by using the Grid for education in the same way that science uses the Grid.
The labs will take two similar but distinct shapes. e-Labs, delivered as Web-based portals accessible in the classroom and at home, will be implemented with the ever-expanding capabilities of Web-based media. i-Labs, delivered as interactive interfaces typically located within science museums and similar public venues, will leverage the latest advances in display technology and human-computer interaction, and will bring the experiences and appreciation of scientific investigation and inquiry to the wide audience of informal education."
