This is for a second year of our ACCESS program, the purpose of which is to establish a pipeline starting in the local high schools which will conduct qualified young women into careers in the physical sciences. The technique is to select highly motivated participants in their first collegiate year, and after 15 months of special instruction and training, place them as active participants in selected research projects. In addition, each year three high school teachers are selected to participate in the summer course and laboratory rotations. At the end of each summer, these teachers organize (with supervision) workshops for 20 other secondary school teachers on methods of teaching from (rather than to) problems, and strategies to neutralize cultural gender bias. During their sophomore year, the students work in selected laboratories and participate in a weekly seminar organized by the Utah Math/Science Network (this is an organization of women in scientific professions dedicated to encouraging young women in science and mathematics). The Director of the University's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program matches the students to research projects. A full-time graduate assistant acts as liaison between the participants and the faculty.

这是我们 ACCESS 计划的第二年，该计划的目的是从当地高中开始建立一条管道，引导合格的年轻女性进入物理科学领域。 该技术是在大学第一年选择积极性高的参与者，经过 15 个月的特殊指导和培训，让他们积极参与选定的研究项目。 此外，每年还会选拔三名高中教师参加暑期课程和实验室轮训。 每年夏末，这些教师（在监督下）为其他 20 名中学教师组织研讨会，讨论从问题出发（而不是针对问题）进行教学的方法，以及消除文化性别偏见的策略。 在大二期间，学生们在选定的实验室工作，并参加由犹他州数学/科学网络（这是一个由科学职业女性组成的组织，致力于鼓励年轻女性从事科学和数学）组织的每周研讨会。 大学本科生研究机会计划主任为学生匹配研究项目。 一名全职研究生助理充当参与者和教师之间的联络人。
