Among the Mathematics and Science projects she has administered or supported were: • Spiders and Frogs – a project funded by IDNR (Illinois Department Natural Resources) in which she coordinated the student collection of local spider and frog species data for area scientists. • The SMART Collaboratory – an astronomy project developed in the Collaboratory that gives high school students access to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey database and on-line astronomer tools. • The South Pond project – a collaborative effort between the Lincoln Park Zoo and the Illinois Math and Science Academy to redesign the Lincoln Park south pond using GIS/GPS technology.
