Carnegie Mellon University will initiate a six-week, residential Young Scholars project in Engineering, Biology and Biotechnology which will offer science enrichment activities for 50 precollege students entering grades 10-12. The Young Scholars project will be an extension of an ongoing, successful course in Carnegie Mellon's Summer precollege program called Careers in Applied Science and Technology (CAST). The current CAST program includes a variety of laboratory visits and presentations, a Science/Technology/Society workshop, and a science writing workshop, leading up to the production of a magazine for use in middle school classrooms. The expanded program will add research tracks in three major NSF Centers on campus and replace most of the science-writing activity with group laboratory projects.

卡内基梅隆大学将启动一个为期六周的工程、生物和生物技术青年学者项目，该项目将为50名进入10-12年级的大学预科学生提供科学丰富活动。青年学者项目将是卡内基梅隆大学暑期预科项目中一门正在进行的成功课程的延伸，该课程名为应用科学与技术职业(CAST)。目前的CAST计划包括各种实验室访问和演示、科学/技术/社会研讨会和科学写作研讨会，以制作一本供中学课堂使用的杂志。扩大后的计划将在校园内的三个主要NSF中心增加研究轨道，并用小组实验室项目取代大部分科学写作活动。
