MPWG: Supporting Girls in Science Endeavors

9353803 LOBO支持女孩参与科学活动将把学校和社区团体联系起来，鼓励小学和中学的高年级女孩及其家庭积极从事科学研究。位于底特律北部的科学博物馆克兰布鲁克科学研究所将成为这一努力的催化剂，这将把75多名专业人士和协会聚集在一起，这些专业人士和协会已经因其对科学问题的关注而得到认可。博物馆将发起这一合作努力，预计将通过持续的科学规划惠及800多名女孩。这项为期一年的工作将包括四项具体任务：1)由直接动手的科学活动组成的女孩科学计划；2)由以家庭为中心的活动组成的家长支持活动，包括研讨会和时事通讯；3)为对女孩科学感兴趣的组织的领导人举行会议；以及4)科学计划领导人和教师网络。这一努力的结果预计将是一支由成年领导人和父母组成的敬业队伍，他们能够明智地鼓励女孩从事科学工作，以及800多名女孩，他们的积极经历和新的联系将保持她们对科学的兴趣。***

9353803 Lobos Supporting Girls in Science Endeavors will link school and community groups to encourage upper elementary and middle school girls and their families in active science pursuits. Cranbrook Institute of Science, a science museum north of Detroit, will be the catalyst for this effort which will bring together more than 75 professionals and associations already recognized for their focus on science issues. The museum will initiate this collaborative effort which is expected to reach more than 800 girls with sustained science programming. Four specific tasks will be included in the year-long effort: 1) Science Programs for Girls consisting of direct hands-on science activities, 2) Parent Support Activities comprised of family centered events, including seminars and a newsletter, 3) a conference for leaders of organizations interested in science for girls and 4) a Network for science program leaders and teachers. The result of this effort is expected to be a dedicated corps of adult leaders and parents who can knowledgeably encourage girls in science, and more than 800 girls whose positive experiences and new contacts will sustain their interests in science. ***
