I came across a DNA education site about half a year ago. It offered participation on projects thru the web as well local projects of various types. I'm not sure if the site below is the site I am thinking about. (I bookmarked the site on my older computer, which I currently do not have access to, and I'm not sure if the bookmarks were saved. I will try to check in about a week) However, this site seems to be the same one, and seems to offer alot of info and opportunities for student participation of many different levels thru college.
