9628426 Hirshon The AAAS is developing and testing a pilot phase of an on-line website science club for youth. Kinetic City Cyberclub will engage youth in episodic adventures to promote both group and independent exploration. Users will receive carefully crafted, paced challenges as they wind their way through a mystery or other related activity. The adventures will be presented over time in a series of episodes that require users to use science toward solving an on-going mystery or problem. Components of the on-line club will include: Story Pods which set up the problem and inform users of what has been learned to date; Clue Pods which include information and activities that users can add to their individual electronic notebooks; Experiment Pods where users will be able to try out different theories to solve immediate problems; Discussion Pods where questions will be posed to which users are encourage to respond; and a Voting Pods where users get to vote on the next direction the science exploration should take or on possible solutions to problems. Components of the web page will be updated on a regular basis with most of the content being changed weekly and, in some instances, daily. The PI will be Robert Hirshon of the AAAS who has been the key developer of The Kinetic City Super Crew, the radio series on which the Kinetic City Cyberclub is based. The Senior Producer responsible for developing and maintaining the website will be Kimberly Amaral. Ms. Amaral previously been a writer/web developer for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's Coastal Research Center and Sea Grant and she has worked as a researcher/writer for Bill Nye the Science Guy. Dissemination and outreach will be a joint effort of the AAAS and the National Science Teachers Association. Evaluation will be conducted by Arthur C. Johnson, an independent evaluator and instructor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

9628426 Hirshon 美国科学促进会正在开发和测试针对青少年的在线网站科学俱乐部的试点阶段。 Kinetic City Cyber​​club 将让年轻人参与情景冒险，以促进团体和独立探索。 当用户蜿蜒完成谜题或其他相关活动时，他们将收到精心设计的、有节奏的挑战。 这些冒险将随着时间的推移以一系列剧集的形式呈现，要求用户利用科学来解决持续存在的谜团或问题。 在线俱乐部的组成部分将包括： Story Pods，它设置问题并告知用户迄今为止所学到的知识； Clue Pods，其中包含用户可以添加到其个人电子笔记本中的信息和活动； 实验舱，用户将能够尝试不同的理论来解决眼前的问题；讨论区将提出问题并鼓励用户回答；投票站，用户可以对科学探索的下一个方向或问题的可能解决方案进行投票。 网页的组件将定期更新，大部分内容每周更改一次，在某些情况下每天更改一次。 PI 将是美国科学促进会 (AAAS) 的 Robert Hirshon，他是《Kinetic City Super Crew》广播系列节目的主要开发者，Kinetic City Cyber​​club 正是以此为基础。 负责开发和维护该网站的高级制作人将是 Kimberly Amaral。 Amaral 女士此前曾担任伍兹霍尔海洋研究所沿海研究中心和 Sea Grant 的作家/网络开发人员，并曾担任科学专家 Bill Nye 的研究员/作家。 传播和推广将由美国科学促进会和国家科学教师协会共同努力。 评估将由哈佛大学教育研究生院的独立评估员和讲师 Arthur C. Johnson 进行。
