通过科学推广项目鼓励所有社区的学生，对于吸引下一代、激发年轻人从事科学和医学事业至关重要。在此，我们提出了一个独特的结构和广泛影响的科学推广计划。杜克大学化学推广项目（DCO）成立于2005年，采用教学法进行推广，旨在向受众传授新的科学概念，同时灌输纯粹的科学乐趣。DCO在2270小时内举办了583场活动，超过70,000名参与者，其中大部分活动在达勒姆，周边的北卡罗来纳州社区以及其他8个州。这种外展计划的灵活性和多样性为其他中学和高等教育机构提供了一个可修改的框架。
Encouragement of students across all communities through scientific outreach programs is critical to engaging the next generation, exciting young minds to pursue careers in science and medicine. Herein, we present a uniquely structured and widely influential science outreach program. Founded in 2005, the Duke Chemistry Outreach (DCO) employs a pedagogical approach to outreach that aims to teach its audience a new scientific concept, while instilling a pure enjoyment of science. DCO has performed 583 events reaching over 70,000 participants throughout 2,270 hours, with the majority of events in Durham, the surrounding North Carolinian communities, and across 8 other states. The flexibility and diversity of this outreach program creates a framework amendable for others to adopt in both secondary and higher education settings.
