This project involves Westminister College, two local school districts, the Utah Mathematics/Science Network, and the University of Utah. The Network was formed by a group of women scientists from Utah schools, universities, and industry to increase awareness of career opportunities in science, to encourage young women to enter those fields, and to provide a support structure for them. Beginning in the fall of 1990, a group of high school teachers will begin developing supplementary materials, for their classes based on lectures in a seminar series conducted by the Utah Math/Science Network. The materials will be further developed, by selected University faculty and students, for a special summer course. In the spring of 1991, 12 female students who will be entering the University of Utah and who have expressed an interest in a career in mathematics or physical science shall be selected for the program. All participating students will take a course during the summer on the dynamical processes of chemistry and physics. After 15 months of special instruction and training, the 12 students will become active research participants. It is intended that 12 new students and 3 new high school teachers will be selected in 1992 to begin a second cycle of the program. Special two day strategy sessions for teachers will be held on alternate Saturdays in September to discuss ways of neutralizing gender bias and to provide a forum for developing ad discussing effective methods of outreach. The foci of the program are recruitment and retention.

该项目涉及威斯敏斯特学院，两所当地学校 学区、犹他州数学/科学网络和大学 来自犹他州。 该网络由一群女科学家组成， 来自犹他州的学校、大学和工业界， 科学职业机会，鼓励年轻女性 输入这些字段，并为它们提供支持结构。 从1990年秋季开始，一群高中教师将 开始开发补充材料，为他们的类为基础 在犹他州数学/科学中心举办的一系列研讨会上的演讲 网络 这些材料将进一步发展，由选定的 大学教师和学生，为一个特殊的夏季课程。 在 1991年春季，12名女学生将进入 犹他州大学，并表示有兴趣从事 在数学或物理科学中，应选择 程序. 所有参与的学生将在 化学和物理的动力学过程。 后 15个月的特殊指导和培训，12名学生将 成为积极的研究参与者。 预计12个新 1992年将选出3名学生和3名新的中学教师 以开始程序的第二周期。 特别两天战略 教师的会议将在每隔一个星期六举行， 9月，讨论消除性别偏见的方法， 提供一个论坛，讨论有效的方法， 外展 该计划的重点是招聘和保留。
