在许多城市、农村和小型郊区社区，经济上处于不利地位和代表性不足的高中生无法获得大学先修课程（AP）课程。由于没有机会在高中学习严格的物理课程，这些人口群体很难在与物理科学相关的STEM领域和学术项目上与来自更富裕社区的同龄人竞争。Project Accelerate是美国国家科学基金会资助的项目，是波士顿大学（BU）和高中之间的合作项目，旨在为没有提供这种机会的学校提供大学理事会认证的AP®物理1课程。初步结果表明，参加Project Accelerate的学生与参加传统AP®物理1课程的学生表现一样好，甚至更好。
Economically disadvantaged and underrepresented high school students in many urban, rural, and small suburban communities don’t have access to Advanced Placement® (AP®) courses. Lacking opportunity to access rigorous physics courses in high school, these demographic groups are hard pressed to compete in physical science related STEM fields and academic programs with their peers from more affluent communities. Project Accelerate, a National Science Foundation funded project, is a partnership program between Boston University (BU) and high schools to bring a College Board accredited AP® Physics 1 course to schools not offering this opportunity. Preliminary results indicate that students participating in Project Accelerate do as well or better than their peers enrolled in traditional classroom based AP® Physics 1 classes.
