SSC: Engineering and Science Summer Program

这个项目的目的是向Calumet地区的非裔美国人和西班牙裔学生展示现实生活中的相关性和机会，在工程和科学。这是一个为期五周的暑期项目，面向六、七年级的学生。8个是后续年份的后续活动。这是普渡大学与加里和东芝加哥学校系统的合作成果。其关键特征是将数学、科学和应用联系在一起的结构；因此，主题的选择使参与者看到数学作为一种基本工具的重要性，以及它在工程和科学上的应用。提供动手实验室和计算机使用课程以及工业参观。

The objective of this program is to demonstrate to African-American and Hispanic students in the Calumet region the real life relevance of and opportunities in engineering and science. This s a five-week summer program for students completing grades 6, 7, and 8 with follow-up activities in subsequent years. This is a cooperative effort between Purdue University-Calumet and Gary and East Chicago school systems. The key feature is the structure which ties math, science, and applications together; thus topics are chosen so that the participants see the importance of math as a basic tool, and its application to engineering and science. Hands- on laboratory and computer usage sessions and industrial tours are provided.
