This project, to be carried out on the campus of GMI Engineering & Management Institute, consists of two parts, an intensive three-(3) week summer workshop and nine (9) monthly follow-up activities during the school year. Students with high interest and potential will be identified and recruited from the schools of Genesee County. Emphasis will be placed on the recruitment of minorities and women. GMI has established two minority pre-college science and engineering programs, ASPIRE and AIM, with strong participation from school districts within the County. The workshop will involve a maximum of forty (40) students who willcommute daily to GMI, where they will participate in activities that involve basic mathematical concepts, communication skills, computer science, engineering design projects, science investigations, and simple research projects. The activities will focus on chemistry as an essential scientific discipline. A portion of the workshop (30%) will involve career awareness activities and field trips. Participants will observe scientists and engineers in the research and teaching environment. The follow-up activities involve nine (9) monthly meetings with students and teachers from Genesee County schools. These activities, consisting of dynamic speakers, films, field trips and competitive events, are designed to motivate and guide interested persons toward science and science-related careers.

该项目将在GMI工程与管理学院的校园内进行，由两部分组成，一个为期三(3)周的强化暑期工作坊和九(9)个学年期间的每月后续活动。具有高度兴趣和潜力的学生将从杰纳西县的学校中被发现和招募。将把重点放在招募少数群体和妇女上。GMI已经建立了两个少数民族大学预科科学和工程项目，ASPIRE和AIM，县内学区的大力参与。研讨会将有最多四十(40)名学生参加，他们每天往返于GMI，在那里他们将参加涉及基本数学概念、沟通技能、计算机科学、工程设计项目、科学调查和简单研究项目的活动。这些活动将侧重于化学作为一门基本的科学学科。讲习班的一部分(30%)将涉及职业认识活动和实地考察。参与者将在研究和教学环境中观察科学家和工程师。后续活动包括与Genesee县学校的学生和教师每月举行九(9)次会议。这些活动包括充满活力的演讲、电影、实地考察和竞赛活动，旨在激励和引导感兴趣的人从事科学和与科学有关的职业。
