Partial Support of "Annual Directory of Student Science Training Programs for Precollege Students"

《大学预科学生科学训练计划目录》列出了科学服务处能够找到的正在为大学预科学生开展各种学生科学训练计划的机构。学生科学培训计划旨在为学生提供科学、工程和数学方面的教育机会，而不是学生学校通常在课程或实验室工作中提供的机会。实现这一点的主要方法是让学生接触到学院、大学和研究机构(私人、工业和政府)的教学人员、研究人员和一般资源。除了出版《指南》，科学局还每年举办一次会议，将这些项目的负责人召集在一起，以便他们能够交流想法。每年，许多有志于指导此类项目的人都会参加，并在接下来的几年里开始自己的项目。

The "Directory of Student Science Training Programs for Precollege Students" lists the institutions which Science Service is able to locate that are conducting a wide variety of student science training programs for precollege students. Student science training programs are designed to provide students with educational opportunities in science, engineering, and mathematics beyond those normally available in course or laboratory work in the students' schools. The primary means of accomplishing this is by bringing students into contact with the instructional staff, research personel, and general resources of colleges, universities, and research institutions (private, industrial, and governmental). In addition to publishing the "Directory," Science Service conducts an annual conference bringing directors of such programs together so they can exchange ideas. Each year many people aspiring to direct such programs attend and start their own programs in subsequent years.
