9619140 Chandrasekhar "Promoting Young Women in the Physical Sciences" is a sequential program spanning grades 5-12 that involves collaborations among teachers and administrators of the Columbia Public Schools, other area schools, University of Missouri faculty, local industries and parents. A combination of curricular, extracurricular and training components is designed to nurture and broaden the participation, interest and knowledge of students, particularly females. Curricular activities in the physical sciences are to be added to grades 5-9. Integrated science courses for grades 9-10 are to be designed and implemented so all students receive additional instruction in the physical sciences. Female-targeted sections of physics and chemistry are to be made available at the high schools. Extracurricular programs are to be implemented at three levels: the Exploring Physics after school program for grades 5-7 girls; Saturday Science Experiences, in collaboration with local industries, for grades 8-9 students; and a Summer Science Academy for grades 9-11 girls. The latter integrates Science, Engineering and Mathematics (SEM) disciplines through a toy factory building project. Training components for parents and school personnel include: physics summer institutes for teachers; a gender equity course followed by a semester of action research for science teachers and administrators; and middle school parent training through Family Evenings with Science and Technology (FEST).

9619140钱德拉塞卡“促进年轻女性在物理科学领域的发展”是一个跨越5-12年级的连续项目，涉及哥伦比亚公立学校、其他地区学校、密苏里大学教师、当地企业和家长的教师和管理人员之间的合作。课程、课外活动和培训内容相结合，旨在培养和扩大学生，特别是女性的参与、兴趣和知识。物理科学的课程活动将增加到5-9年级。为9-10年级设计和实施综合科学课程，以便所有学生在物理科学方面获得额外的指导。高中将开设针对女性的物理和化学课程。课外活动将分三个层次实施：5-7年级女生的课后探索物理项目；周六科学体验，与当地产业合作，为8-9年级的学生；以及为9-11年级女生开设的暑期科学学院。后者通过一个玩具工厂建设项目整合了科学、工程和数学（SEM）学科。针对家长和学校人员的培训内容包括：面向教师的物理暑期学院；为科学教师和行政人员开设性别平等课程，然后进行一个学期的行动研究；通过家庭科技之夜（FEST）对中学家长进行培训。
