Clark Atlanta University will sponsor a four-week Summer Science Camp for fifty seventh and eight grade students each summer for the three-year period, 1996-1998. The goals of the Clark Atlanta University (CAU) Summer Science Camp (SSC) Program are to provide a foundation and support to promote the development for a lifelong interest in the sciences, engineering and mathematics (SEM) for all of its participants and to encmurage participants to consider careers in SEM. Program participants, selected from elementary and middle schools in Metropolitan Atlanta, will enroll in an academic enrichment experience that includes interdisciplinary science, computer applications, mathematics, and communications skills. Instruction will emphasize problem solving and critical thinking while focusing on real life situations. In addition to classroom experiences. participants will interact with research scientists in their laboratories and in career awareness seminars and discussion groups. Weekly field trips will round out the academic experiences of the Program. Follow-up activities during the academic year include workshops each semester for program participants and their parents, an awards program at the end of the school year, a mentoring program in which participants will be matched with undergraduate or graduate student science majors who will serve as their mentors, and two newsletters each semester that highlight the accomplishments of the participants and Clark Atlanta University Scientists. ***

克拉克亚特兰大大学将为57年级和8年级的学生举办为期四周的暑期科学夏令营，为期三年，1996-1998年。克拉克亚特兰大大学（CAU）暑期科学营（SSC）计划的目标是为所有参与者提供基础和支持，以促进对科学，工程和数学（SEM）的终身兴趣的发展，并鼓励参与者考虑SEM的职业生涯。项目参与者从亚特兰大大都会的小学和中学中挑选出来，将参加学术丰富体验，包括跨学科科学、计算机应用、数学和沟通技巧。教学将强调解决问题和批判性思维，同时关注现实生活中的情况。除了课堂体验。参与者将在实验室和职业意识研讨会和讨论小组中与研究科学家进行互动。每周的实地考察将使该计划的学术经验更加丰富。学年期间的后续活动包括每学期为项目参与者及其父母举办的研讨会，学年结束时的奖励计划，指导计划，参与者将与本科生或研究生科学专业的学生相匹配，后者将作为他们的导师，以及每学期两份强调参与者和克拉克亚特兰大大学科学家成就的新闻通讯。＊＊＊
