SSC: "Summer Science Camp"

在洛杉矶联合学区的高等数学和科学课程中，非裔美国人、美国印第安人和拉丁裔学生的比例严重偏低。在大约64万名开始接受教育的少数族裔学生中，1%的人过渡到微积分，不到3%的人选择物理。在完成这些课程的学生中，很少有学生达到加州大学系统工程或科学专业的学术标准。加州大学洛杉矶分校工程与应用科学学院和洛杉矶联合大学城市系统计划将为40名八年级和九年级的非裔美国人、美国印第安人和拉丁裔学生举办为期六周的暑期和12周的学年、通勤人员和暑期科学夏令营。我们的主要目标是增加学生获得教育经验的机会：1)设定较高的期望；2)提高高等数学和科学的能力；3)提供统一学习数学、科学和技术的教学方法；4)促进对技术职业的渴望。建议的活动包括：数学联系：一门数学课程，通过小组讨论、计算机练习和协作问题解决研讨会强调相互关系的代数、几何和技术。科学项目：火箭和海船。两个项目将形成主题焦点，介绍科学过程，并探索在面向团队的物理、数学和相关职业中的应用。每个项目将让学生参与物理演示、互动动手实验室活动、到工业现场的实地考察，以及不同领域的Quest演讲者和专家的讲座。职业探索和家长参与：主要功能：教育规划会议、职业博览会、大学日、导师指导、榜样任务演讲者和五个家庭日活动。后续行动：由劳合社信息技术处提供的支持将确保在大学一年级期间进行远程跟踪。学年星期六，学院将加强和反馈学生课程的招生和表现。***

African American, American Indian, and Latino students are severely underrepresentated in the Los Angeles Unified School District's (LAUSD) advanced math and science sequence. Of the approximately 640,000 minority student who start out in the educational pipeline, 1% transition to calculus, and fewer than 3% take physics. Of those who complete these courses, few students meet scholastic standards for admission to an engineering or science major in the University of California system. The UCLA School of Engineering and Applied Science and the LAUSD Urban Systemic Initiative will implement a six-week summer and 12- week academic year, commuter and Summer Science Camp for 40 African American, American Indian, and Latino students in eight and ninth grade. Our major goal is to increase students' access to educational experiences that: 1) set high expectations; 2) enhance competence in advance math and science; 3) provide a instructional approach that unifies the learning of math, science, and technology; and 4) promote aspirations for professions in technical careers. Proposed activities include: Math Connections: A math curriculum emphasizing the interrelationship algebra, geometry, and technology through group discussions, computer exercises, and collaborative problem-solving workshops. Science Project: Rocketry and Sea Vessels. Two projects will form the thematic focus to introduce the scientific process and explore applications in team-oriented physics, math and related careers. Each project will involve students in physics demonstrations, interactive hands-on laboratory activities, field excursions to industrial sites, and lectures from quest speaker and specialists in various fields. Career Explorations and Parent Involvement: Major features: Educational planning sessions, career fair, college day, mentorships, role model quests speakers, and five family day events. Follow-up: Support from the Information Technology Division of the LAUSD wi ll ensure long-range tracking through the first year of college. Academic year Saturday Academies will reinforcement and feedback on student course enrollment and performance. ***
