This page provides links to publicly available databases to help guide new and developing STEM research programs in Connecticut high schools. By providing these resources we hope to support the development of STEM research among students from schools that do not necessarily have the resources for wet-lab or bench research. Below are a few resources related to each of the 8 competitive research categories.
Physical Sciences
Satellite-derived Ocean Color Data sets from historical and currently operational NASA and International Satellite missions
North American electricity power-grid and communication-network anomalies for several magnetic storms (2022)
Mathematics and Computer Science
World Data AI
Global Data is a platform that includes data published by government agencies, private agencies and universities. This database consists of over 3.3 Billion Datasets across 16 sectors.
