The participants in the Horizons Program (HEP) at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) will develop skills, identify resources and gain insights into a variety of science, mathematics and engineering careers. HEP opportunities will provide participants with in-school as well as out-of-school learning experiences that are predominately "out of the conventional classroom." The goals of the Horizons Exploration Program will be achieved through four themes that address biology, earth science, engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry and information management. Strong components from these disciplines will be threaded throughout the project. Presenters will be highly competent in their fields and believe that the targeted student population can learn the material to be presented and benefit from the associated career exploration activities. HEP will have a heavy emphasis on the applications of science and mathematics in the careers examined, and participants will be exposed to careers having varying educational and entry level requirements. HEP participants will come from the Baltimore City Public Schools. HEP will involve 15 male and 15 female students who have completed eighth grade and are entering their first year of high school. Acceptance is dependent upon interest and aptitude in science and mathematics, an academic average of above 80, evidence of financial need and potential for success. Particular attention has been made to include parents of participants at appropriate junctures during both the summer and school year agendas. HEP participants will reside in UMBC dormitory rooms during the summer component of the project. During the school year the HEP participants will continue to explore career options, develop science process skills and conduct science investigations in a variety of settings and science disciplines.

马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校(UMBC)地平线计划(HEP)的参与者将发展技能，确定资源，并获得对各种科学、数学和工程职业的见解。HEP机会将为参与者提供主要“走出传统课堂”的校内和校外学习体验。地平线探索计划的目标将通过涉及生物学、地球科学、工程、数学、物理、化学和信息管理的四个主题来实现。来自这些学科的强大组件将贯穿整个项目。演讲者将在各自的领域具有很高的能力，并相信目标学生群体可以学习要演示的材料，并从相关的职业探索活动中受益。HEP将重点强调科学和数学在所考察职业中的应用，参与者将接触到具有不同教育程度和入门水平要求的职业。HEP的参与者将来自巴尔的摩市公立学校。HEP将有15名男学生和15名女学生参加，他们已经完成了八年级，并正在进入高中一年级。录取与否取决于对科学和数学的兴趣和天赋、学术平均分在80分以上、经济需要的证据和成功的潜力。已特别注意在暑期和学年议程的适当时刻让参与者的家长参加。在该项目的夏季部分，HEP参与者将住在UMBC宿舍。在本学年，HEP的参与者将继续探索职业选择，发展科学过程技能，并在不同的环境和科学学科进行科学调查。
