Industry, university, and museum scientists and engineers will work with the staff of the Sister Clara Muhammad School, a private, traditionally black K-8 school in Newark, New Jersey, to strengthen science teaching in all grades. Staff development will be carried out throughout the academic year and in full-time 2-week summer workshops. Partners with the school in the project include the Center for Pre-College Programs at New Jersey Institute of Technology, AT&T Networks Systems and Bell Laboratories, the New Jersey Marine Science Consortium, and the Sci-Tech Center at Liberty State Park. The teachers and the collaborating scientists and engineers will develop curricular models and components to provide a unified, multi-year hands-on science program which will be tied into the total school curriculum. Cost sharing by the partners will total 90% of the National Science Foundation funding.

工业界、大学和博物馆的科学家和工程师将与克拉拉穆罕默德姐妹学校（Sister Clara Muhammad School）的工作人员合作，加强所有年级的科学教学。克拉拉穆罕默德姐妹学校是新泽西州纽瓦克的一所传统黑人K-8私立学校。员工发展将在整个学年和为期两周的全日制暑期讲习班中进行。该项目的合作伙伴包括新泽西理工学院大学预科项目中心、at&t网络系统和贝尔实验室、新泽西海洋科学联盟以及自由州立公园的科技中心。教师和合作的科学家和工程师将开发课程模型和组成部分，以提供一个统一的、多年的实践科学课程，该课程将与整个学校课程联系在一起。合作伙伴分担的费用将占美国国家科学基金会资金的90%。
