With communication technology and the use of mentors, the Disabilities, Opportunities, Inter-networking, and Technology (DO-IT) program builds a communication network for disabled high school students who would otherwise remain isolated and segregated. The network opens these students to new possibilities in science, mathematics, and engineering and helps sustain them through their high school and college academic experiences. Another strength is the program's emphasis on developing college faculty awareness of how the barriers and challenges for the disabled can be overcome, contributing to a more positive and diverse learning environment. DO-IT has positively altered the educational infrastructure by creating a self-sustaining community, free from spatial constraints and creatively links new isolated populations such as the Seattle Children's Hospital to its communication network. The strengths of the nominee include: . Innovative, strong and working. . Ninety percent of the participants have graduated from high school and are pursuing post-secondary degrees. . Showcased in President's Summit for America's Future. In summary, this nomination for the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring is outstanding. The program is innovative and timely. The total number of participants is not large but the level of quality is high.

通过通信技术和导师的使用，残疾、机会、互联网络和技术 (DO-IT) 计划为残疾高中生建立了一个通信网络，否则他们将处于孤立和隔离状态。 该网络为这些学生打开了科学、数学和工程领域的新可能性，并帮助他们维持高中和大学的学术经历。 该计划的另一个优势是强调提高大学教职人员对如何克服残疾人的障碍和挑战的认识，从而有助于营造更加积极和多样化的学习环境。 DO-IT 通过创建一个不受空间限制的自给自足的社区，积极改变了教育基础设施，并创造性地将西雅图儿童医院等新的孤立人群与其通信网络连接起来。 被提名者的优势包括： . 创新、强大、努力。 。 百分之九十的参与者已高中毕业并正在攻读高等教育学位。 。 在美国未来总统峰会上展示。 总而言之，此次科学、数学和工程指导卓越总统奖的提名非常出色。 该计划具有创新性和及时性。 参加的总人数虽然不多，但质量水平很高。
