SSC: "MESA/Summer Science Camp"

加州州立大学萨克拉门托，加州哈罗德，詹姆斯“梅萨/暑期科学营”加州州立大学萨克拉门托梅萨计划建议在1994-96年夏季每年为60名学生进行为期6周的通勤暑期科学营充实计划（梅萨/暑期科学营）。除了参加核心学术充实课程（数学、科学和语言艺术）外，学生将熟悉实验室设施，学习研究方法，参与实验室项目，并在各种软件上与计算机硬件进行交互，如CADCAM、Word Perfect和位于劳伦斯利弗莫尔实验室的NASA超级计算网络。强调抽象推理和解决问题的能力。学生还将通过工作展示、实地考察和有意义的动手研究项目的行业赞助，获得各种各样的实际工作机会。在学年期间，将有一些后续活动，如星期六科学院和数学/科学博览会，以确保暑期科学营的参与者继续培养对数学和科学的兴趣，从而朝着科学专业的选择取得进展。除了项目的学术核心/研究方法阶段外，1994年为期6周的夏季会议将向参加者提供科学探究方法、PSAT考试准备、科学职业入门和领导/公开演讲训练等方面的训练。参与的学生将从组成国会中心MESA网络的九个学区的附属初中/中学中选出。符合条件的学生将由MESA暑期科学营工作人员和MESA校园顾问选出。申请人将参加大学预科数学和科学课程的课程，并/或具有科学/数学教师推荐的潜力；对探索科学事业有兴趣；并且渴望参与令人兴奋的动手科学，数学和研究项目。60名学生将按年级分为两组，以促进教学和使用小组教学，小组教学是通过与MESA数学/科学教师学院的协调而实现的，该学院与MESA/暑期科学营的日历日期相同。除了国家科学基金会的资助外，工业界、学区和国会中心MESA大学赞助商、加州大学戴维斯分校、工程学院和加州州立大学萨克拉门托工程与计算机科学学院也投入了大量资源。通过使用德怀特·d·艾森豪威尔数学和科学教师培训补助金的教师参与者，学生参与者的小型核心小组将成为可能。

SSC-9450438 Cal State U Sacramento Sacramento, CA Harold, James "MESA/Summer Science Camp" The California State University-Sacramento MESA program proposes to conduct a 6-week commuter Summer Science Camp enrichment program (MESA/Summer Science Camp) for sixty students each year in the summers of 1994-96. In addition to enrollment in core academic enrichment courses (math, science, and language arts), the students will become familiar with laboratory facilities, learn research methodology, participate in laboratory projects, and interact with computer hardware on a variety of software such as CADCAM, Word Perfect, and the NASA Supercomputing Network located at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Abstract reasoning and problen- solving skills will be emphasized. The students will also have a wide variety of real work exposure through job showing, site visits, and industry sponsorship of meaninful hands-on research projects. During the school year there will be a number of follow- up activities, such as Saturday Science Academy and Mathematics/ Science Fairs, to ensure that the Summer Science Camp participants continue to develop an interest in mathematics and science thereby making progress toward a scientific major option. In addition to the academic core/research methodology phase of the project, the 6-week 1994 summer session will provide the participants with training in scientific inquiry methods, PSAT test preparation, introduction to scientific careers, and leadership/public speaking training. Participating students will be selected from feeder junior high/middle schools in the nine school districts comprising the Capitol Center MESA network. Qualified/qualifiable students will be selected by the MESA Summer Science Camp staff and MESA school-site advisors. The pool of applicants will be enrolled in courses leading to college preparatory mathematics and science courses and/or have potential as shown by science/math teachers recommendations; hav e an interest in exploring science careers; and are eager to participate in exciting hands-on science, math, and research projects. The sixty students will be grouped into two sections by grade level to facilitate instruction and use of small group instruction made possible by coordination with a MESA Math/Science Teacher Institute with the same calendar dates as the MESA/Summer Science Camp. In addition to the NSF funding, extensive resources have been committed by industry, school districts, and the Capitol Center MESA university sponsors, the University of California, Davis, College of Engineering and the CSU-Sacramento School of Engineering & Computer Science. The small core-groups of student participants will be made possible by the use of the teacher participants in a Dwight D. Eisenhower Mathematics and Science Teacher Training Grant.
