Resources are often hosted by their creators, but SMILE is not an archive. Resources that you recommend or contribute to SMILE must already have a digital home, so to speak. SMILE collects links to existing online activities, adds valuable metadata to make the resources more discoverable, and provides a web portal from which to search for these activities and to create community and annotations (like user ratings or teaching tips) around those resources. If your organization lacks the capacity to host your own activities online, the Lawrence Hall of Science (a founding partner of SMILE) may be able to host those online resources on its servers.
