The Pittsburgh State University will initiate a three-week, residential Young Scholars project in Chemistry and Biology for 36 students entering grades 8,9. The students' interest, confidence, and enthusiasm for science will be heightened. This age group was selected to affect future curricula choices. Participants learn basic research methodology, gain discipline content, and perform research under the direction of senior faculty. Ethical considerations are integrated into daily activities. Special sessions focus on the values and philosophies practitioners and citizens must consider. Career Exploration opportunities include developing "Personal Plans" and visits to regional practitioners of science to see "what scientists do." Follow-up involves school visits, campus speakers, and student presentations in the Junior Science Academy. Project assessment includes short and long term follow up.

匹兹堡州立大学（Pittsburgh State University）将为36名8、9年级的学生启动为期三周的化学和生物学青年学者住宿项目。提高学生对科学的兴趣、信心和热情。选择这个年龄组是为了影响未来的课程选择。参与者学习基本的研究方法，获得学科内容，并在高级教师的指导下进行研究。道德考量融入日常活动。特别会议的重点是实践者和公民必须考虑的价值观和哲学。职业探索机会包括制定“个人计划”和访问地区科学从业者，看看“科学家在做什么”。后续活动包括学校访问、校园演讲和学生在青年科学院的演讲。项目评估包括短期和长期跟进。
