The Infinity Project: building a high school curriculum which emphasizes the engineering, math, and science principles of modern technology

A bold new plan has been initiated to bring state-of-the-art science-based technology and engineering education to high schools. This effort, called The INFINITY Project, aims to develop a novel and interactive curriculum emphasizing the engineering fundamentals and the fun of the modern high-tech age. This course isn't about "surfing the web"-rather, it teaches students about the science and engineering which enable the web. This course doesn't focus on how to use email to reach friends and family-rather, it teaches the physics and modern engineering which have given rise to cellphones and high speed digital networks. This course does not focus on how to use computers to play video games or DVD players to watch high resolution digital videos-rather, it focuses on the basic mathematics, and algorithms which enable these devices to entertain us and enrich our lives.
