The goals of the Delaware State University Summer Science Camp are to increase students awareness of mathematics and science careers, to develop a deep appreciation for mathematics and science in underrepresented minority students (African-Americans, Native Americans and Hispanics), to improve and strengthen students academic preparation in science and mathematics. The objectives are to build the confidence levels of students so positive attitudes will gradually replace negative attitudes toward science and mathematics, to maintain the students high interest in science and mathematics by mentoring, counseling and continuing with follow-up activities during the academic year. to develop participatory laboratory activities, to expose students to professional role models through interactions with local scientists and mathematicians, to use the team approach to expose students to scientific principles, laws and theories via group science projects, to increase the depth of the student's prior experiences in reading interpreting and communication through the individual tutorial conference technique, and to urge parent to become more involved in their children education. The methods to be employed are hands-on classroom activities, computer-assisted instruction in each subject area, science exploratory field trips and experimental demonstrations in research laboratories. Local scientists, SSC staff, those in industries, undergraduates will serve as role models. Students will get the opportunity to present their science projects to the community and will be engaged in follow-up activities during the academic year. There is expected to be an increase in underrepresented minorities who are committed to attending graduate school and obtaining Ph.D. degree in Science, Mathematics and Engineering. The challenge is to provide productive citizens that are versatile and well-trained to met the nation's need of scientists. ***

特拉华州立大学科学夏令营的目标是提高学生对数学和科学职业的认识，培养少数族裔学生(非洲裔美国人、土著美国人和西班牙裔美国人)对数学和科学的深刻欣赏，改善和加强学生在科学和数学方面的学术准备。目标是建立学生的信心水平，使积极的态度逐渐取代消极的态度对科学和数学，保持学生对科学和数学的高度兴趣，通过指导，咨询和继续跟踪活动在一学年。开展参与性实验室活动，通过与当地科学家和数学家的互动，让学生接触到专业的榜样；通过小组科学项目，利用团队方法让学生接触科学原理、法律和理论；通过个别辅导会议技术，增加学生先前阅读、口译和交流经验的深度；并敦促家长更多地参与子女教育。采用的方法包括课堂实践活动、每个学科领域的计算机辅助教学、科学探索实地考察和研究实验室的实验演示。当地科学家、SSC工作人员、工业界人士和本科生将成为榜样。学生将有机会向社会介绍他们的科学项目，并在学年期间参与后续活动。预计将有更多的少数族裔代表不足，他们致力于上研究生并获得科学、数学和工程学博士学位。挑战是提供多才多艺、训练有素的多产公民，以满足国家对科学家的需求。***
