Young Scholars Program at Clark Atlanta University

克拉克亚特兰大大学的这个项目旨在为30名进入8-12年级的学生提供课堂教学和生物科学和化学方面的动手研究经验。这个为期六周的项目是为青年学者项目中的住校学生和通勤学生设计的，旨在增加他们对数学和自然科学职业机会的兴趣和知识。参与者还将通过课堂教学、每周研讨会和实地考察，了解从事这些职业所需的学术准备。10-12年级的参与者将在研究实验室中度过75%的工作日，作为正在进行的研究团队的成员，该团队由研究教授、研究生和本科生组成。8年级和9年级的学生将参加以实验室为基础的跨学科科学课程，该课程强调研究方法，解决问题和批判性思维。学年后续活动是该计划的重要组成部分。

This Clark Atlanta University program seeks to provide intellectually challenging experiences in classroom instruction and hands-on research experiences in the biological sciences and chemistry for 30 students entering grades 8-12. The six-week program is for residential and commuting students in a Young Scholars Program designed to increase their interest and knowledge about career opportunities in the mathematical and natural sciences. The participants will also be made aware of the academic preparation required to pursue these careers through classroom instruction, weekly seminars, and field trips. Participants in grades 10-12 will spend 75% of their work day in research laboratories as members of on-going research teams consisting of research professors, graduate and undergraduate students. Participants in grades 8 and 9 will enroll in a laboratory-based, interdisciplinary science course that emphasizes research methodology, problem solving and critical thinking. Academic year follow-up activities represent a critical component of the program.
