This project, entitled "MS WIZ," is designed to motivate young girls to be prepared to select a mathematical, scientific or technical field for their professional major in college. Hopefully, this will bring a substantial number of women into the fields of science and technology in the near future. MS WIZ is a summer intensive two week program to help girls believe that it is acceptable to be bright, interested in science, and to be a female. The purpose is threefold: first, to help girls be exposed to the curriculum content in a way that gets them excited about this subject matter; second, to help girls experience values such as choice; intellectual risk-taking, decision-making and power; and third, to create a community in which young girls have positive role models in these fields and have a personal opportunity to speak, to question and work with women in the sciences at many levels.

该项目名为“MS WIZ”，旨在激励年轻女孩为大学专业选择数学、科学或技术领域做好准备。 希望这将在不久的将来让大量女性进入科学技术领域。 MS WIZ 是一项为期两周的夏季强化课程，旨在帮助女孩相信聪明、对科学感兴趣以及成为女性是可以接受的。 目的有三个：首先，帮助女孩接触课程内容，让她们对这个主题感到兴奋；第二，帮助女孩体验选择等价值观；智力冒险、决策和权力；第三，创建一个社区，让年轻女孩在这些领域树立积极的榜样，并有机会在多个层面上与科学界的女性发言、提问和合作。
