9612430 Whitney Established in 1983, Saturday Academy offers seven (7) precollege, community-based education programs focusing on the sciences, mathematics, and engineering for 6th-12th grade students. The Academy: I. Has served an extremely large and diverse population of students -- approximately 38,000 students and teachers, over 50% of the students being women, with representation of ethnic minority students being above their representation in that general population (e.g., African-American, Hispanic, Native Americans), and including students with disabilities; students are served throughout Oregon and southern Washington through its regional centers; II. Includes teachers as an integral part of the program -- more than 750,000 hours of instruction provided; III. Has enlisted 3,400 community professionals to contribute their facilities, equipment, and expertise in a variety of creative and substantive ways; IV. Is a model of what cooperation and partnerships can achieve and provides a remarkable outreach and range of programs; V. Aligned with the Oregon Education Act for the 21st Century, the Goals 2000, Educate America Act, is a well-structured and managed operation, with distinct and well-categorized sectors for middle-schoolers and high-schoolers -- e.g., -- ASE: Apprenticeships in Science & Engineering -- e.g.,placed 23 9-11 grade high students in research positions in industry, universities, and government agencies in 1994; -- Contemporary Applied Mathematics (CAM) Summer Institute and Saturday morning classes, together serving 650 African-American students since inception (funded by NSF); -- Outreach Initiative --identifies minority and bilingual science and engineering practitioners to serve as mentors and instructors for Saturday Academy programs; -- Futuremakers: Inventor/Mentor Program -- an in-school program for grades 6-9; -- The Annenberg/CPB Math and Science Project; -- Saturday Academy Regional Centers; I. Has secured significant external funding (NSF, M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, The Annenberg/CPB Math and Science Project; Oregon Community Foundation, Tektronix Foundation, Intel Foundation, etc.).

星期六学院成立于1983年，为6至12年级的学生提供七(7)个大学预科，以社区为基础的教育项目，重点是科学，数学和工程。学院：1 .服务的学生群体极其庞大和多样化——大约有38,000名学生和教师，超过50%的学生是女性，少数民族学生的比例高于一般人群（例如，非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲原住民），包括残疾学生；学生通过其区域中心在俄勒冈州和华盛顿州南部接受服务；2。包括教师作为该计划的组成部分——提供超过75万小时的指导；3。招募了3400名社区专业人士，以各种创造性和实质性的方式贡献他们的设施、设备和专业知识；四、是合作与伙伴关系所能取得成果的典范，并提供了显著的推广和一系列项目；V.与《俄勒冈州21世纪教育法》相一致，《2000年美国教育目标法案》是一个结构良好、管理良好的运作，为初中和高中学生提供了独特的、分类良好的部门——例如，ASE：科学与工程学徒——例如，1994年，23名9-11年级的高中生在工业、大学和政府机构担任研究职位；当代应用数学（CAM）暑期学院和周六上午班，自成立以来共为650名非裔美国学生提供服务（由美国国家科学基金会资助）；——外展计划——确定少数民族和双语科学和工程从业者担任周六学院项目的导师和讲师；-未来缔造者：发明家/导师计划——一个针对6-9年级的校内计划；——Annenberg/CPB数学与科学项目；-星期六学院区域中心；1 .获得了大量的外部资助（NSF， M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, The Annenberg/CPB mathematics and Science Project, Oregon Community Foundation, Tektronix Foundation， Intel Foundation等）。
