SSC-9450443 Science Museum of Minnesota St. Paul, MN Klaphake, Katrina, Patricia Forber and David Chittenden "St. Croix Eco-Explorers" St. Croix Eco-Explorers is a multifaceted project of the Science Museum of Minnesota whose ultimate goal is to increase the number of girls, particularly minority girls, being exposed to scientific fields. This project will enhance the scientific knowledge of middle school girls by providing them with hands-on, highly motivating science activities in conjunction with appropriate technical education and support networks. It is specifically designed to encourage girls who already show an aptitude in science to continue exploring science through extracurricular activities and pre-college science courses. The primary vehicle for this project will be a four-week day camp. The participants will be engaged in both course work and field research. During this time they will also be taking field trips to visit women scientists in both industry and academia. Through this project participants will strengthen their self-awareness and self-esteem as well as their knowledge of career opportunities in the scientific world. Along with the four-week camp, there will be follow-up activities which engage the participants in sharing their gained knowledge with family and friends, informal meetings with female career scientists, and internships within the Museum. This project provides for the development of curriculum and implementation of three successive camps that will be subjected to frequent evaluation by staff scientists and educators at the Science Museum of Minnesota. Major Scientific Disciplines: Ecology, Environmental Science. Program: Formal and Informal Science Education. Instructional Grade Levels: Grades 7 and 8.

SSC-9450443明尼苏达州科学博物馆圣保罗，明尼苏达州克拉法克，卡特里娜，帕特里夏Forber和大卫Chittenden “圣克鲁瓦生态探索者” 圣克鲁瓦生态探索者是明尼苏达科学博物馆的一个多方面项目，其最终目标是增加女孩，特别是少数民族女孩接触科学领域的人数。 该项目将通过向中学女生提供实际操作、高度激励性的科学活动，并结合适当的技术教育和支助网络，提高她们的科学知识。 它是专门设计来鼓励女孩谁已经显示出在科学方面的能力，继续通过课外活动和大学预科科学课程探索科学。 该项目的主要车辆将是一个为期四周的日间营地。 参与者将从事课程工作和实地研究。 在此期间，他们还将进行实地考察，访问工业界和学术界的女科学家。通过这个项目，参与者将加强他们的自我意识和自尊，以及他们在科学界的职业机会的知识。 沿着为期四周的夏令营，还将举办后续活动，让参与者与家人和朋友分享他们获得的知识，与女性职业科学家举行非正式会议，并在博物馆内实习。 该项目规定制定课程并连续举办三个训练营，明尼苏达科学博物馆的科学家和教育工作者将经常对这些训练营进行评价。 主要学科：生态学、环境科学。 课程：正式和非正式的科学教育。 教学等级：7级和8级。
