Networking, Women Teachers, Their Students, and Scientists

该项目的目标是让纽约市九所中学的36名11至14岁的女孩和18名教师参加旨在培养和加强她们对科学的兴趣的活动。这些活动包括：(A)在纽约市立大学(CUNY)研究生院举办为期三周的暑期讲习班，以培养他们在计算机方面的专门知识；(B)10个星期六的会议，到博物馆、研究实验室和大学进行实地考察；(C)课外科学/数学俱乐部，每周举行一次会议，促进联网；以及(D)为8年级学生准备参加中学能力倾向测验(SSAT)的时间。该项目将科学家纳入所有活动，从而提供持续获取信息和榜样的机会。

The objective of this project is to involve 36 eleven to fourteen year-old girls and 18 of their teachers from nine middle schools in New York City in activities designed to develop and reinforce their interest in science. These include (a) a three-week Summer Workshop at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY) in which they are developing expertise with computers; (b) ten Saturday Sessions for field trips to museums, research laboratories and universities; (c) after school science/mathemtics clubs which meet on a weekly basis to facilitate networking; and (d) Prep Time for 8th grade students which is preparing them to take the Secondary School Aptitude Test (SSAT). This project integrates scientists into all activities and, thus, provides for continual access to information and role models.
