Cornell Natural Sciences Interns Program

康奈尔大学自然科学实习生项目将包括三个主要组成部分：1)培训部分——为期四天的住宿项目，培训60名初中和高中青少年（其中30%为少数民族和/或残疾人）和10名自然科学学科的成人教育工作者，并使青少年和成人教育工作者接触自然科学领域的研究和职业机会；2)问题解决部分——为期五周半的住宿项目，12名少数民族和/或残疾高中青少年积极参与森林科学研究项目和自然科学职业探索；3)后续活动——旨在提高300名初中生和300名高中生及其24名教师、48名初中生和高中辅导员、520名4-H俱乐部成员及其成人俱乐部领导和12名4-H代理人对自然科学研究和职业选择的认识。参与更深入的问题解决部分的青年将首先参加培训部分，从而获得开始研究项目所需的背景知识。

The Cornell University Natural Sciences Interns Program will include three major components: 1) Training Segment--a four-dayresidential program to train 60 junior high and high school youths (30% of whom will be minority and/or disabled) and 10 adult educators in the natural sciences disciplines, and to expose youths and adult educators to research and career opportunities in the natural sciences; 2) Problem-Solving Segment--a five and one-half week residential program actively involving 12 minority and/or disabled high school youths in a forest science research project and exploration of natural sciences careers; and 3) Follow-up Activities--designed to create an awareness of natural sciences research and career options among 300 junior high and 300 high school students and their 24 teachers, 48 junior high and high school counselors, 520 4-H club members and their adult club leaders, and 12 4-H agents. Youths involved in the more in-depth Problem-Solving Segment will first participate in the Training Segment, thereby receiving the background necessary to begin their research projects.
