Boston University will initiate a six-week, commuter and residential Young Scholars project in Physics and Engineering which will provide science enrichment activities for 30 students entering grades 11 and 12. Students will participate in research at laboratories affiliated with Boston University and MIT, where they will be placed for six weeks during the summer after either their sophomore or junior years. This age group is chosen because of its maturity and its ability to share the summer experience with fellow high school students during their senior year. This program for high-ability secondary school students will be coordinated by Boston University, where the participants will live for the duration of the project. The object of this program is for the students to become aware of the realities of a scientific career through involvement in research and exposure to questions at the frontiers of knowledge and to the methods and ideas used to answer them. To this purpose, each participant will be paired with a mentor -- a person actively engaged in research -- and will work with him or her in ongoing research problems. A series of weekly seminars will provide a more global view of problems in science.

波士顿大学将启动一个为期六周的物理学和工程学青年学者项目，该项目将为30名进入11年级和12年级的学生提供科学丰富活动。学生们将参加波士顿大学和麻省理工学院附属实验室的研究，在大二或大三结束后的夏天，他们将在那里呆上六周。选择这个年龄组是因为它的成熟和它的能力，分享夏天的经验与其他高中生在他们的高年级。这个针对高能力中学生的项目将由波士顿大学协调，参与者将在项目期间居住在波士顿大学。该计划的目的是让学生通过参与研究和接触知识前沿的问题以及用于回答这些问题的方法和想法来了解科学职业的现实。为此，每个参与者将与一名导师配对-一个积极从事研究的人-并将与他或她一起解决正在进行的研究问题。一系列每周一次的研讨会将为科学问题提供更全面的观点。
