The University of California, Berkeley, will renew a six-week, commuter Young Scholars (EAI) project in Engineering as applied to Mathematics and Physics for 120 students entering grades 7-9. Students will be introduced to math, science and engineering concepts in ways that will demonstrate to them how academic coursework relates to the world around them, and how the practice of science in accomplished. The summer program includes morning mathematics and English courses, seminars in culture and ethics, afternoon pre-engineering projects, and a "shadowing" program whereby students will meet with mentor scientists and engineers. The academic-year program will include follow-up activities for students in schools through MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement) programs as well as a Saturday Academy at UC-Berkeley. The program will also involve parents by helping them become informed and actively involved in the education of their children.

加州大学伯克利分校将为120名7-9年级的学生续订一个为期六周的工程通勤青年学者(EAI)项目，该项目适用于数学和物理。向学生介绍数学、科学和工程概念的方式将向他们展示学术课程如何与他们周围的世界相关，以及科学实践是如何完成的。暑期课程包括上午的数学和英语课程，文化和伦理学的研讨会，下午的工程前期项目，以及学生将会见指导科学家和工程师的“影子”计划。该学年计划将包括通过MESA(数学、工程、科学成就)计划以及加州大学伯克利分校周六学院为学生提供的后续活动。该计划还将让父母参与进来，帮助他们了解情况并积极参与子女的教育。
