9552559 McCreedy The Franklin Institute and the Girl Scouts of the USA will develop, implement, and evaluate "Girls at the Center," a family outreach program that will foster girl-centered, learning within the context of the family. Partnerships will be promoted between local science and technology centers and Girl Scout Councils. It is a multi- component program that will increase girls' and their families' understanding of and interest in basic science principles and processes. Consisting of a series of family-oriented activities that coincide with the school year, science/technology centers will serve as the hosts. These museum-based activities will be supplemented by home-based activities. The activities will follow the constructivist theory of education and will cover a broad menu of scientific disciplines including ecology, energy, and human physiology as well as science careers opportunities. They will be linked to the requirements for the Girl Scout recognition (badges) program. It is building on the success of a previously NSF funded project "National Science Partnerships for Girls Scout Councils and Museum" and is expected to reach 75,050 girls and 112,575 adults in 25 sites across the US during the funding period. It will be institutionalized and will continue to operate in those sites as well as expand to other sites after the NSF-funded period.

9552559 McCreedy 富兰克林研究所和美国女童子军将制定、实施和评估“女孩在中心”，这是一项家庭外展计划，旨在促进以女孩为中心的家庭背景下的学习。 将促进地方科技中心和女童子军理事会之间的伙伴关系。 这是一个多组成部分的计划，将提高女孩及其家人对基本科学原理和过程的理解和兴趣。 由一系列与学年同期的以家庭为导向的活动组成，科学/技术中心将作为主办方。 这些以博物馆为基础的活动将得到以家庭为基础的活动的补充。 这些活动将遵循建构主义教育理论，涵盖广泛的科学学科，包括生态学、能源和人类生理学以及科学职业机会。 它们将与女童子军认可（徽章）计划的要求相关联。 该项目以之前 NSF 资助的项目“女童子军委员会和博物馆国家科学合作伙伴关系”的成功为基础，预计在资助期间将覆盖美国 25 个地点的 75,050 名女孩和 112,575 名成年人。 它将制度化，并继续在这些地点运作，并在 NSF 资助期结束后扩展到其他地点。
