CARA itself is composed of a diverse group of institutions, and perhaps this is why so many connections to other organizations and institutions have been formed. Many of these collaborations are discussed in the text with the project they involve. CARA has worked with museums, planetaria, other STC's, "the mass-media," manufacturing companies, etc. The favored path for these interconnections has been through educational channels, although we are beginning to form more industrial ties. Currently CARA researchers are collaborating with Hyres, and TRW. Nalco Corporation has provided 10K in funding for the Explorers computer laboratory for the past three years, and we have worked with Motorola to develop simulation exercises based on the South Pole. A list of educational partners would include:

• the Office of Special Programs (OSP) at the University of Chicago,
• Adler Planetarium,
• The Chicago Public Schools,
• Argonne National Laboratory,
• Fermi National Laboratory,
• The Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago,
• The Museum of Science and Industry,
• Gateway Technical College,
• The Fernbank Science Center, and
• The Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
