SSC: "Summer Science Camp"

非裔美国人、美洲印第安人和拉丁裔学生在洛杉矶联合学区（LAUSD）高等数学和科学课程中的代表性严重不足。在大约64万名开始接受教育的少数族裔学生中，1%的人转向了微积分，不到3%的人选择了物理。在完成这些课程的学生中，很少有学生达到进入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LAUSD城市系统倡议将为40名8年级和9年级的非裔美国人、美洲印第安人和拉丁裔学生实施为期6周的夏季和12周的学年、通勤和夏季科学营。我们的主要目标是增加学生获得教育经验的机会：1)设定高期望；2)提高高等数学和科学能力；3)提供统一数学、科学和技术学习的教学方法；4)促进技术职业的职业抱负。建议的活动包括：数学联系：通过小组讨论、计算机练习和协作解决问题的研讨会，强调代数、几何和技术之间的相互关系的数学课程。科学项目：火箭与海船。两个项目将形成主题重点，介绍科学过程并探索团队导向的物理，数学和相关职业的应用。每个项目将包括物理演示，互动动手实验室活动，实地考察到工业现场，并从任务演讲者和专家在各个领域的讲座。职业探索和家长参与：主要特点：教育规划会议，招聘会，大学日，指导，榜样任务演讲，和五个家庭日活动。后续工作：法学院信息技术部的支持将确保在大学一年级期间对学生进行长期跟踪。学院将加强和反馈学生的课程注册和表现。＊＊＊

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. ***
