The University of Nebraska-Lincoln will initiate a 3-week residential Young Scholars project for 45 new and 45 returning students in grades 9-10 in physics and earth science. Using the theme of the Physics of the Earth's Environment, we will offer three-week Young Scholars Institutes for bright girls from rural schools in Nebraska. Each institute will introduce the girls to basic physical science and mathematics concepts and computer technology through practical hands-on activities. On completing her first science institute, each girl will be provided with a personal computer and modem, and linked to a state-wide electronic bulletin board. Institute staff will provide ongoing mentoring through frequent contact with each girl. The entering ninth grade girls will do instructional and research projects related to The Physics of the Solid Earth. in the second summer the entering tenth grade girls will do instructional and research projects related to The Physics of Earth's Water. The girls' parents and teachers will be involved in the project through workshops and conferences.

内布拉斯加大学林肯分校将为物理和地球科学9-10年级的45名新生和45名返校学生启动为期三周的青年学者住宿项目。我们将以地球环境物理学为主题，为内布拉斯加州农村学校的聪明女孩提供为期三周的青年学者研究所。每个学院将通过实践活动向女孩们介绍基本的物理科学和数学概念以及计算机技术。在完成她的第一个科学研究所后，每个女孩都将获得一台个人电脑和调制解调器，并连接到一个全国性的电子公告板。研究所工作人员将通过与每个女孩的频繁接触提供持续的指导。即将进入九年级的女生将做与固体地球物理学相关的教学和研究项目。在第二个夏天，即将进入十年级的女孩将做与地球水的物理学有关的教学和研究项目。女孩的父母和老师将通过研讨会和会议参与到该项目中来。
