Fifteen young women and men with potential for becoming scientists will be provided with an exciting opportunity to further their understanding of the definition and practice of science. The project will instruct the participants in the principles of scientific reasoning while offering them a hands-on experience involving basic laboratory skills and techniques germane to many areas of science. All activities are designed to enhance the individual's interest in science and provide direction for selecting a field of scientific endeavor. The ongoing proposed project encompasses two major phases: a summer immersion experience and an academic-year research project. The summer immersion experience is a four week program designed to give the participant broad-based instruction and laboratory experience in several essential areas of science. This session is organized into six modules: Orientation to the Science, Chemistry, Physics,Life Sciences and Biotechnology, Ecology and Geology, and a one day Transition module. In addition to subject matter content, each of the modules will integrate such topics as scientific method, research techniques, career choices in science, and the role of ethics in science. Each module is coordinated by a university faculty who will enlist the service faculty from SUNY Plattsburgh and the Miner Research Institute. Following the immersion experience, each student will select a one semester research project under the sponsorship of faculty mentors from SUNY Plattsburgh and the Miner Research Institute. The research project will employ the skills learned during the summer immersion experience and extend the participant's interest and knowledge in a particular area of science. Written reports and oral presentations will aid in the development of scientific literacy and the articulation of scientific knowledge to others. In an effort to insure diversified participation among secondary school students in this region, the project will create a collaboration between university and secondary school science faculty.

15名有潜力成为科学家的青年男女将获得一个令人兴奋的机会，加深他们对科学的定义和实践的理解。该项目将指导参与者科学推理的原则，同时为他们提供实践经验，涉及与许多科学领域密切相关的基本实验室技能和技术。所有活动都是为了提高个人对科学的兴趣，并为选择科学努力领域提供方向。正在进行的拟议项目包括两个主要阶段：夏季沉浸体验和学年研究项目。暑期沉浸体验是一个为期四周的项目，旨在为参与者提供几个基本科学领域的广泛指导和实验室经验。本课程分为六个单元：科学、化学、物理、生命科学和生物技术、生态学和地质学的指导，以及一天的过渡单元。除了主题内容外，每个单元都将整合科学方法、研究技术、科学职业选择和伦理在科学中的作用等主题。每个模块由一名大学教员协调，他们将从纽约州立大学普拉茨堡分校和Miner研究所招募服务教员。在沉浸体验之后，每个学生将在纽约州立大学普拉茨堡分校和Miner研究所的教师导师的赞助下选择一个为期一学期的研究项目。研究项目将运用在夏季沉浸体验中学到的技能，并扩大参与者在特定科学领域的兴趣和知识。书面报告和口头陈述将有助于培养科学素养和向他人传授科学知识。为了确保该地区中学生的多样化参与，该项目将在大学和中学理科教师之间建立合作。
