SSC: Michigan Summer Science Camps

SSC-9353155黑人儿童和家庭研究所兰辛，MI万斯，欧文，朗，莫泽尔和波拉德，约翰“密歇根夏季科学夏令营”密歇根州立大学数学系，与密歇根州教育部和兰辛黑人儿童和家庭研究所的数学和科学计划合作，将为代表性不足的少数民族学生提供为期五周的暑期科学夏令营计划和学年计划。这将是一个全州范围的计划，每年在密歇根州的三个地点提供科学营。这些网站将在兰辛/东兰辛，庞蒂亚克和本顿港。每个站点都有自己的工作人员，但有一套共同的目标和共同的纪律重点。营地之前将为工作人员举办一个专业发展讲习班。服务的年轻人将是来自兰辛、庞蒂亚克和本顿港地区的非洲裔美国人、拉美裔美国人和美国土著学生。这些学生将于1993年秋季进入七、八和九年级。将举办三个通勤营，每个营招收60名学生。此外，将在海鸥湖的凯洛格生物站举行一个为期五天的以环境为重点的住宿营。180名学生将参加一个包括数学、科学、环境和计算机科学的项目。参与者的父母将被要求参加选定的会议，并定期作为项目志愿者工作。在学年期间，将在每个地点为与会者举行九次星期六上午的会议。由麦克米伦/麦格劳希尔出版公司资助的所有参与者的表彰计划将于每年春天在密歇根州立大学举行。暑期科学夏令营计划将解决对科学素养人口的需求，并扭转代表性不足的群体对科学的能力、兴趣和参与程度下降的趋势。科学夏令营将提供：一个有利于学习科学和数学的环境，提供工具、资源和专家教师。o建立导师关系，培养学生对科学和数学的技能和兴趣o为期四周的通勤科学夏令营，加上为期一周的住宿营，让学生有机会以解决问题和探索的方式练习科学和数学o一系列为期半天的星期六课程，在学年内每月一次o家长的积极参与，支持和引导孩子的兴趣和方向

SSC-9353155 Black Child and Family Institute Lansing, MI Vance, Irvin, Lang, Mozell and Pollard, John "Michigan Summer Science Camps" Michigan State University Mathematics Department, in collaboration with the Mathematics and Science Program of the Michigan Department of Education and the Black Child and Family Institute of Lansing, will offer a five-week summer science camp program combined with an academic year program for underrepresented minority students. This will be a statewide program with science camps offered in three Michigan sites each year. These sites will be in Lansing/East Lansing, Pontiac and Benton Harbor. Each site will operate with its own staff but with a common set of goals and a common disciplinary focus. A professional development workshop for staff will precede the camp. The young people served will be African-American, Hispanic-American and Native-American students from the Lansing, Pontiac and Benton Harbor areas. These students will be entering the seventh, eighth and ninth grades in the fall of 1993. Three commuter camps, each enrolling 60 students, will be held. In addition, a five-day residential camp, with an environmental focus will be held at the Kellogg Biological Station at Gull Lake. One Hundred and eighty students will participate in a program that will include mathematics, science, and environmental and computer science. Parents of participants will be expected to attend selected sessions and work periodically as program volunteers. Nine Saturday morning sessions for participants will be held at each site during the academic year. A recognition program for all participants, funded by Macmillan/McGraw Hill Publishing Company, will be held at Michigan State University in the spring of each year. The summer science camp program will address the need for a scientifically literate population and reversing the declining aptitude, interest and participation in science by underrepresented groups. The science c amps will offer: o an environment, conducive to learning science and mathematics, with tools, resources and expert teachers. o mentor relationships to nurture skills and predisposition for science and mathematics o four-week commuter summer science camp plus a one-week residential camp with opportunities to practice science and mathematics with a problem-solving, exploratory approach o a series of half-day Saturday programs, one each month during the academic year o strong parental involvement to support and guide the interest and direction of the child
