9554494 Douglass This CMU project endeavors to institute a mechanism to encourage and support the participation of girls and women in science, engineering, and mathematics (SEM) through: raising the awareness of teachers and parents with regard to the factors affecting the success of girls in SEM; forming cross-age research teams of women and girls; and developing a mentoring system from elementary school through professional employment. Mentoring Through Cross-Age Research Teams impacts the eight extremely rural, economically disadvantaged counties in central Michigan. Five regional education service districts totaling 33 school districts, with participation from about 240 girls and teachers will be directly involved in the project. Research teams are to be formed of elementary, middle, and high school girls, college undergraduate and graduate women, parents, teachers, and professional scientists. The teams provide mentoring, encouragement, and academic support while working together on a common research project. This research endeavor is augmented by academic year and summer enrichment programs to highlight the issues surrounding the success of girls in SEM, introduce role models, and provide information on career opportunities. A spring "project fair" is to showcase the efforts of the research teams, as will presentations at state conferences. The development and distribution of an administrator's guide will facilitate replication of the project. Presentations are to be made at teacher in-service workshops and at the state Math/Science Center Director's meeting to encourage sponsorship by other centers and districts. This project expects to continue as a regular event coordinated by the Central Michigan Science/ Mathematics/Technology Center and the regional education service districts. ***

小行星9554494 CMU的这一项目致力于建立一种机制，通过以下方式鼓励和支持女孩和妇女参与科学、工程和数学：提高教师和家长对影响女孩在科学、工程和数学领域取得成功的因素的认识;组建跨年龄妇女和女孩研究小组;发展从小学到专业就业的辅导制度。 通过跨年龄研究团队指导影响密歇根州中部八个极端农村，经济弱势县。 五个区域教育服务区共33个学区，约240名女孩和教师将直接参与该项目。 研究小组将由小学、初中和高中女生、大学本科生和研究生、家长、教师和专业科学家组成。 这些团队提供指导，鼓励和学术支持，同时在共同的研究项目上合作。 这一研究奋进是由学年和夏季充实计划，突出周围的女孩在SEM的成功问题，介绍榜样，并提供就业机会的信息增强。 春季的“项目博览会”将展示研究团队的努力，以及在州会议上的演讲。 编制和分发管理员指南将有助于推广该项目。 将在教师在职研讨会和国家数学/科学中心主任会议上作报告，以鼓励其他中心和地区的赞助。 该项目预计将继续作为一个由密歇根州中部科学/数学/技术中心和区域教育服务区协调的定期活动。 ***
