NSF Young Scholars Pacific Region Program

夏威夷大学马诺阿分校将为26名进入11年级和12年级的学生启动为期六周的农业科学暑期住宿青年学者项目。太平洋地区计划（PRP）将重点关注科学，特别是农业科学。学生将接触到当代社会问题（如世界粮食问题，环境退化等），并将学习如何从研究中获得知识，以产生解决方案。PRP暑期课程将包括四个相互关联的主动学习体验：课堂演示；实地考察;与导师一起研究；还有小组活动。学生将在科学家的指导下进行个人研究项目，并提高他们的计算机，图书馆和通信技能。他们将参与分析和讨论现实世界的案例研究和科学伦理，并探索该领域的职业机会。

The University of Hawaii at Manoa will initiate a six-week, summer residential Young Scholars project in the Agricultural Sciences for 26 students entering grades 11 and 12. The Pacific Region Program (PRP) will focus on science in general and the agricultural sciences in particular. Students will be exposed to contemporary societal issues (e.g. world food problems, environmental degradation, etc.) and will learn how knowledge from research is used in generating solutions. The PRP summer curriculum will consist of four inter-related active learning experiences: classroom presentations; field trips; research with mentors; and small group activities. Students will conduct individual research projects under the guidance of scientists and enhance their computer, library and communications skills. they will engage in analyzing and discussing real-world case studies and ethics in science and explore the career opportunities in the field.
