The UCI Chemistry Outreach Program

加州大学欧文分校化学拓展项目由James S. Nowick教授指导，由化学学部特别项目办公室支持，为期三年，从试点项目过渡到私营部门的长期资助。化学拓展计划旨在通过派遣研究生和本科生团队到当地高中，提高高中生对化学的兴趣和知识。从鼓励大一新生参加化学课程开始，大学生通过化学演示和化学讨论来激励高中生。该项目每年覆盖南加州数十所高中的约2000名高中生。该项目将建立一个网站，以传播其开发的教学材料，并将这一示范项目作为教育推广的基层努力进行宣传。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进行化学演示和讨论，提高科学素养，激励年轻人从事科学事业。

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.
