In an attempt to address the paucity of young women going into technical careers, this Model Project seeks to encourage enrollment and performance in science and math for middle school girls; to improve the quality of instruction in middle school science; and, by establishing a support network of students, teachers and parents, to encourage girls to pursue technical careers. Half of the participants will come from urban schools, while the other half will be from rural ones. Classroom teachers from the students schools, as well as university faculty, will work with the girls. They will be assisted by students who had participated in previous institutional programs. There will be special resources and assistance available to the teachers to enable them to enhance their own classroom instruction. This project will build upon and significantly expand a prior program. The Young Women s Technical Institute will be comprised of a three week summer program combined with activities during the school year involving students, teachers and parents . These include student research project presentations, career discussions with professionals, special seminars and field trips. Year round mentoring is planned. The New York State Framework for Mathematics, Science and Technology will be utilized in the project s curriculum planning. Activities will be in the areas of physics, chemistry, mechanical and electrical engineering, astronomy, space science, geology, and computer science. The approach will be to help students to understand the basic science behind the projects with which they are having fun through a hands- on learning experience.

为了解决从事技术职业的年轻妇女很少的问题，该示范项目力求鼓励中学女生在科学和数学方面的入学和成绩;提高中学科学的教学质量;并通过建立学生、教师和家长的支持网络，鼓励女孩从事技术职业。 一半的参与者将来自城市学校，另一半将来自农村学校。 来自学生学校的课堂教师以及大学教师将与女孩们一起工作。 他们将得到参加过以前机构计划的学生的帮助。 将为教师提供特别资源和援助，使他们能够加强自己的课堂教学。 该项目将建立在并大大扩展了以前的计划。 青年妇女技术学院将包括一个为期三周的暑期方案，并在学年期间开展学生、教师和家长参加的活动。 这些包括学生研究项目演示，与专业人士的职业讨论，特别研讨会和实地考察。 计划全年进行指导。 纽约州数学、科学和技术框架将用于项目的课程规划。 活动将涉及物理学、化学、机械和电气工程、天文学、空间科学、地质学和计算机科学等领域。 该方法将帮助学生了解项目背后的基础科学，他们通过动手学习体验获得乐趣。
