Thanks. I realize I sounded pretty desperate, but if you know what you're doing...
As for gifted projects, I'm sure you'll come up with better. But you should check out the links on the courses. Just time-saving short cuts. Some of them are dead, but there's lots of information to follow up. Who knows, by the time we get to it, we probably won't even use them, but it is a nice website, and it's very nice of you to ask them about it.
I wonder what CTY will do for science (they've been using cybered).
