Kathleen Smith is a teacher at Central High School in Champaign, Illinois
who's been running the "Noon Project" for a number of years.  In this
project, students participate in a "re-enactment" of sorts of Eratosthenes'
method of determining the circumference of the earth.

At least yearly, she sends out messages over the network looking for
classrooms that want to participate.

I don't know too much more about the details.  Her email address is:
