The Colorado School of Mines will initiate a 3 week residential Young Scholars project for 30 students in grades 7-8 in mathematics. This program for American Indian middle school students will be held in conjunction with an NSF Teacher Enhancement Project. Teachers will be selected by AISES and CSM and will, in turn, participate in the selection of high potential students from their schools to be in the Young Scholars Program. The emphases will be on critical thinking, problem solving, use of similar triangles and trigonometry to estimate heights attained by the student constructed rockets, and LOGO to create American Indian designs and tessellations. Each student will complete a math/science fair project with the advice of a mentor who is a professional mathematician or computer scientist. Career exploration will be emphasized. The student-teacher pairing will support follow-up.

科罗拉多矿业学院将为30名7-8年级的数学学生启动一个为期3周的住宿青年学者项目。这个针对美国印第安中学生的项目将与美国国家科学基金会的教师提升项目一起进行。教师将由AISES和CSM选出，并依次参与从他们学校中选出高潜力学生加入青年学者计划。重点将放在批判性思维、解决问题、使用相似三角形和三角学来估计学生建造火箭的高度，以及创建美国印第安人设计和镶嵌图案的LOGO。每位学生将在一位专业数学家或计算机科学家导师的建议下完成一项数学/科学竞赛项目。职业探索将被强调。师生配对将支持后续工作。
