A Cooperative Learning Environment that Fosters the Pursuit of Scientific Careers for American Indians

小行星9417390 该项目建议大幅增加获得计算机科学和工程四年制和研究生学位的美国印第安学生人数，FDLTCC和丰迪拉克Ojibwe学校（一个部落K-12机构）将为5-8年级的美国印第安青年举办夏令营，并为9-12年级举办过渡到大学的夏令营，以学习有趣的、引人入胜的计算机科学活动和应用。 他们还应研究传统的美洲原住民世界观-不放弃标准的西方科学方法，但要研究解决问题的新方法。 FDLTCC将创建一个低年级计算机科学计划，专门用于支持和鼓励美国印第安学生通过成功转移到一个四年制机构完成他们的高年级CISE研究。 旨在鼓励以合作方式表现的正式指导和课程将成为部落学院课程的特点。 这种模式，培养美国印第安青年对CISE工作的兴趣，支持从K-12学校到部落学院的桥梁，大力支持美国印第安学生参加低年级CISE研究，并通过转移到高质量的四年制计算机科学课程来支持学生，是为了吸引和适用于部落K-由主权部落国家管理的12所学校和学院是居住在部落土地上或附近的美国印第安青年的主要教育提供者。 ***

9417390 Wetherbee This project proposes to significantly increase the number of American Indian students attaining four year and graduate degrees in computer science and engineering, FDLTCC and Fond du Lac Ojibwe School (a tribal K-12 institution) will hold summer camps for American Indian youth in grade 5-8, and bridge-to- college camps for grades 9-12, to study interesting, engaging computer science activities and applications. They shall also study traditional Native American view of the world - not to abandon standard Western scientific methods, but to examine fresh approaches to problem solving. FDLTCC will create a lower division computer science program designed specifically to support and encourage American Indian students through successful transfer to a four year institution to complete their upper division CISE studies. Formal mentoring and curriculum designed to encourage performance in a cooperative manner will characterize the tribal college program. This model, cultivating interest in CISE work among American Indian youth, supporting the bridge from K-12 schools to the tribal college, strongly supporting American Indian students in lower division CISE studies, and supporting students through transfer to high quality four year computer science programs, is designed to be attractive and applicable to tribal K-12 schools and colleges governed by sovereign tribal nations which are the key education providers for American Indian youth living on or near tribal lands. ***
