What's fixed

Removed 9 resource entries where the websites no longer exist:

Resource Domain Status
CanTEEN canteengirl.org Domain parked/defunct
Click! Spy School clickspyschool.org NXDOMAIN
TechRocket (x2) techrocket.com Site offline
Arrick Robotics arrickrobotics.com Site offline
Engineering Summer Camps engineeringedu.com DNS failure
Physics Wonder Girls spas.cis.indwes.edu Site offline
Camp Euclid euclidlab.org 502 error
SEAP seap.asee.org Domain unresolvable
NISE Net nisenet.org Site defunct

What's NOT changed

  • Sites returning 403 to bots but working in browsers (discovere.org, sciencebuddies.org, exploratorium.edu, etc.)
  • The Amazon book link (book may be out of print but Amazon page exists)
  • Links to sites that just have slow response times

Audit method

Checked all 79 URLs with curl HEAD requests (follow redirects, 10s timeout). Verified DNS resolution for all domains returning timeouts. Only removed entries where the domain itself is dead or the site is completely non-functional.

Removed resources where the domain no longer resolves or the site
is completely offline:

- CanTEEN (canteengirl.org) - domain parked/defunct
- Click! Spy School (clickspyschool.org) - NXDOMAIN
- TechRocket (techrocket.com) x2 - site offline
- Arrick Robotics (arrickrobotics.com) - site offline
- Engineering Summer Camps (engineeringedu.com) - DNS failure
- Physics Wonder Girls (spas.cis.indwes.edu) - site offline
- Camp Euclid (euclidlab.org) - 502 error
- SEAP (seap.asee.org) - domain unresolvable
- Nano Science/NISE Net (nisenet.org) - site defunct

All other links verified as working (some return 403 to bots
but load fine in browsers).
