| Abstract | Alimentos Divertidos is an inquiry-based program for elementary schools that can be incorporated to elementary school classrooms without modifying the existing curriculum at the different modalities offered at this level in Mexico, which primary goal is to transform how students view and do science and engineering. Approximately 700 students have been engaged up to date to learn science and engineering DOING science and engineering. Student, teacher, and parent surveys and focus groups suggest that our program has attracted kids to science and engineering. Formative and summative assessments have consistently shown that among Alimentos Divertidos educational benefits are: hands-on minds-on learning models; learning that science and engineering are fun career fields; and breaking down barriers. However, significant (p≪0.05) differences in interest, overall satisfaction, and learning results have been observed between gender, and among schools and socioeconomic levels. Results indicate the importance of placing teachers in the role of “students” and allowing them to experience hands-on and minds-on inquiry-based activities as well as grapple with designing their own lesson plans in a peer group setting where they can brainstorm and receive feedback. Thus, workshops were implemented to prepare elementary school teachers to effectively use Alimentos Divertidos. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
