9412795 Meech A workshop for high school teachers and students on the theme of 'Toward Other Planetary Systems' TOPS will be held in Hilo, Hawaii from June 12-19, 1994. The theme of exploring the formation of planetary systems and the conditions for life and intelligence in space will be used as a platform to introduce high school students and teachers to areas of planetary science that are pushing the limits of ground-based and space-based astronomical technology. Discussions of how astronomers are using the telescopes on Mauna Kea, Hawaii and in space to search for evidence of planet formation in other solar systems will: (i) open up a new awareness of the forefront of astronomical research in Hawaii and supported by NSF and (ii) will provide an exciting basis for young students to consider careers in astronomy and finally (iii) will provide a wealth of new teaching materials to science educators at the high school level. One of the primary goals is to make the TOPS theme a means by which new educational materials are introduced to high school teachers so that they could better bring stimulating science into the classroom at the ages when students are first beginning to think about potential careers. The workshop consists of lectures, equipment demonstrations, science experiment demonstrations, joint and separate student-teacher activities, computer demonstrations, discussion groups about careers and job opportunities, a tour of the Mauna Kea Observatory facilities, and a nighttime observing session.

小行星9412795 将于1994年6月12日至19日在夏威夷希洛为高中教师和学生举办一个讲习班，主题是“朝向其他行星系统”。 探索行星系统的形成以及空间生命和智能的条件这一主题将被用作一个平台，向高中学生和教师介绍正在推动地基和天基天文技术极限的行星科学领域。 关于天文学家如何使用莫纳克亚山、夏威夷和太空中的望远镜在其他太阳系中寻找行星形成的证据的讨论将： (i)在夏威夷和美国国家科学基金会的支持下， (ii)将为年轻学生考虑天文学职业提供一个令人兴奋的基础， (iii)将为高中阶段的科学教育工作者提供丰富的新教材。 主要目标之一是使TOPS主题成为向高中教师介绍新教材的一种手段，以便他们能够在学生第一次开始考虑潜在职业的年龄更好地将刺激科学带入课堂。 研讨会包括讲座，设备演示，科学实验演示，联合和单独的师生活动，计算机演示，关于职业和就业机会的讨论小组，莫纳克亚天文台设施的参观，以及夜间观测会议。
