SSC: Summer Science and Technology to Advance Research Skills (SSTARS)

SSC-9353241圣地亚哥州立大学Fdn圣地亚哥，加州帕克，辛西娅D。圣地亚哥州立大学数学/科学区域中心为50名进入9年级的学生提出了为期三年的暑期科学和技术经验，以提高研究技能（SSTARS）。位于南湾和天际线地区的圣地亚哥县学校包括这些地区的每个主要民族/种族群体的代表。该项目由两个密切相关的部分组成：在圣地亚哥州立大学校园进行的为期四周的夏季住宿方案和1993年春季选出的学生的学年后续活动。夏季课程为初入9年级的学生提供了一个实验性的几何预科班和一个几何计算机实验室，以及一个跨学科的地球科学课程，其中包括一个关于职业探索和青少年问题的研讨会。使用Hypercard的技术写作课允许学生以创新和富有表现力的方式记录他们的发现。所有学生都参加一个研究项目，以及环境实地考察，以补充课程。这包括一项指导计划，在该计划中，大学理科教师每周将与一小群学生一起工作长达4小时。随后的每一个项目年（1994年、1995年）将是1993年项目年的重述，下文将详细说明。从SSTARS毕业的学生将能够在联邦第九区15个专业上进数学/科学中心中的任何一个继续暑期科学学习。＊＊＊

SSC-9353241 San Diego State Univ. Fdn. San Diego, CA Park, Cynthia D. "Summer Science and Technology to Advance Research Skills (SSTARS) The Math/Science Regional Center at San Diego State University proposes a three-year Summer Science and Technology experience to Advance Research Skills (SSTARS) for 50 students entering 9th grade. The San Diego County schools which are located in the South Bay and Skyline areas include representation from each of the predominant ethnic/racial groups in those areas. The project consists of two closely related parts: a four-week summer residential program on the San Diego State University campus and an academic year follow-up for students selected in Spring 1993. The summer session offers entering 9th graders an experimental pre-geometry class and a geometry computer lab, as well as an interdisciplinary earth science course which integrates a workshops in career exploration and adolescent problems. A technical writing class using Hypercard allows students to document their findings in innovative and expressive ways. All students participate in a research project, as well as environmental field trips which supplement the courses. This includes a mentoring program in which university science faculty will work up to four hours weekly with small groups of students. Each succeeding project year (1994, 1995) will be a recapitulation of the 1993 project year described in detail on the pages which follow. Students graduating from SSTARS will be able to continue summer science study at any one of 15 specialized Upward Bound Math/Science Centers in Federal Region IX. ***
