9509277 Meech A workshop on the theme of "Toward Other Planetary Systems" (TOPS) will be held at the Hawaii Preparatory Academy in Kamuela, Hawaii June 11-18, 1995. Sixteen top science teacher-student pairs from high schools statewide in Hawaii will participate in the workshop. The purpose of the workshop is to introduce students and teachers to areas of planetary science that are pushing the limits of ground-based and space-based astronomical technology. There will be discussions of how astronomers use the Mauna Kea telescopes and space-based facilities to search for evidence of planet formation in other solar systems. This, (i) will create a new awareness of the forefront research of astronomical science in Hawaii, (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 be used by science educators at the high school level. The workshop will involve collaboration between many research scientists, telescope support staff, and high school educators. The format of the workshop is arranged to allow discussions, demonstrations, hands-on activities, an observatory tour, and night time observing opportunities for the participants. The teachers will be able to develop astronomy activities, based on the workshop materials, for use in their classes in the future. This will be the third consecutive year of the program. Educational materials, for suggested astronomy classroom activities, will be published and distributed to schools statewide after the end of the grant period.

小行星9509277 将于1995年6月11日至18日在夏威夷卡穆埃拉的夏威夷预备学院举行一次主题为“朝向其他行星系统”的讲习班。 来自夏威夷全州高中的16对顶尖科学师生将参加研讨会。 讲习班的目的是向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。 将讨论天文学家如何使用莫纳克亚望远镜和天基设施来寻找其他太阳系行星形成的证据。 这，（一）将创造一个新的认识天文科学的前沿研究在夏威夷，（二）将提供一个令人兴奋的基础，为年轻学生考虑在天文学的职业生涯，最后（三）将提供丰富的新教材，供科学教育工作者在高中水平使用。 该研讨会将涉及许多研究科学家，望远镜支持人员和高中教育工作者之间的合作。 研讨会的形式安排允许讨论，演示，动手活动，天文台参观，并为与会者提供夜间观测机会。 教师们将能够根据讲习班的材料开展天文学活动，供今后在课堂上使用。 这将是该计划连续第三年实施。 在补助期结束后，将出版并向全州的学校分发建议的天文学课堂活动的教育材料。
