Northern Illinois University will initiate a 3-week residential Young Scholars project for 32 students in grades 7-9 in mathematics. The development and use of mathematical models in integral to scientific research. Recent technological developments have provided new tools for mathematical modeling including graphing calculators and microcomputers. The focus of this project is to familiarize students with mathematical modeling and its role in many diverse areas of scientific endeavor. By exposing students to a variety of scientists and mathematicians using mathematical modeling in their work, the project will stimulate interest in science disciplines as possible and realistic career choices and make the students aware of the academic preparation necessary for such careers. This project, using the theme of mathematical modeling as an introduction to experiences in other disciplines, is designed to do precisely that. Each cycle of the project, lasting one year, will consist of a three-week residential camp during July and August, follow-up activities during the academic year, and a culminating one-week residential camp during the following June.

北伊利诺伊大学将启动一个为期3周的住宿青年学者项目，面向7-9年级的32名数学学生。数学模型的发展和使用是科学研究的一个组成部分。最近的技术发展为数学建模提供了新的工具，包括图形计算器和微型计算机。这个项目的重点是让学生熟悉数学建模及其在科学工作的许多不同领域中的作用。通过让学生接触到在工作中使用数学建模的各种科学家和数学家，该项目将尽可能激发人们对科学学科和现实职业选择的兴趣，并使学生意识到为此类职业所需的学术准备。这个项目以数学建模为主题，介绍了其他学科的经验，就是为了做到这一点。该项目的每个周期为期一年，将包括7月和8月为期三周的宿营，学年期间的后续活动，以及次年6月结束的为期一周的宿营。
