Understanding the origin and propagation of high energy cosmic rays is a fundamental area of astroparticle physics with major unanswered questions. The study of cosmic rays with energy more than ~1014 eV, probed only by ground based experiments has been restricted by the low particle flux. In this paper we concentrate on the development and deployment of very large area sparse arrays the primary purpose of which is to search for a non-random high energy cosmic ray phenomena, detected as extended air showers (EAS), time correlated among well separated EAS detector systems. The NALTA collaboration has been setup to network such arrays of EAS detector systems in Canada, the USA and Mexico. One of the unique features of the NALTA project is the involvement of high-schools and colleges.
