The UCI Chemistry Outreach Program

由詹姆斯·S·诺维克教授指导的加州大学欧文分校化学推广计划正得到化学系特别项目办公室的支持，为期三年，从试点计划过渡到私营部门的长期资助。化学推广计划旨在通过将研究生和本科生团队送到当地高中来提高高中生对化学的兴趣和知识。大学生通过进行化学演示和讨论化学来激励高中生，从鼓励他们参加化学课程的大一学生开始。该项目每年覆盖南加州数十所高中的约2000名高中生，将建立一个网站，传播其开发的教材，并将这一示范项目作为基层教育宣传活动进行宣传。化学推广计划是一项以大学为基础的努力，旨在通过大学本科生和研究生在高中提供化学演示和讨论来提高科学素养并激励年轻人追求科学事业。

The University of California at Irvine Chemistry Outreach Program directed by Professor James S. Nowick is being supported by the Special Projects Office of the Chemistry Division for a three-year period of transition from a pilot program to long-term funding from the private sector. The Chemistry Outreach Program aims to improve high school students' interest in and knowledge of chemistry by sending teams of graduate and undergraduate students to local high schools. The university students inspire the high school students by performing chemical demonstrations and discussing chemistry, beginning with freshmen students who are encouraged to enroll in chemistry classes. The program, which reaches about two thousand high school students per year at dozens of Southern California high schools, will establish a web site for dissemination of the instructional materials that it develops and for propagation of this model program as a grassroots effort in educational outreach. The Chemistry Outreach Program is a university-based effort to improve scientific literacy and inspire young people to pursue careers in science through the vehicle of chemistry demonstrations and discussions in high schools provided by undergraduate and graduate students from the university.
