IDP: Role Models for Young Women and Girls: Partnerships at the College and Middle School Levels in St. Lucie County, Florida

港湾分部海洋学研究所、印度河社区学院和圣露西县学区建立了一个伙伴关系，为“过渡点”年轻女性（从初中到高中，从高中到大学，重新进入专业课程的女性）提供经验和材料，以支持她们追求以科学为导向的职业道路。在中学和社区大学阶段，一项名为“探索科学与技术为基础的女性职业”的新项目正在计划中。在中学阶段，计划扩大暑期“Just We Girls”项目。科学家将担任大学生参与者的导师，大学生参与者将反过来担任年轻女性和女孩的导师。计划建立一个由科学家、科学教师和有潜力的年轻女性科学家组成的动态、互动的区域网络。

Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, the Indian River Community College and the St. Lucie County School District have formed a partnership to provide "transition point" young women (Those moving from middle school to high school, high school to college, reentry women to professional course work) with experiences and materials geared to support them in the pursuit of science oriented career pathways. At the secondary and community college levels, a new program, Exploring Science & Technology - Based Careers for Women is planned. At the middle school level, the expansion of a summer Just We Girls program is planned. Scientists will serve as mentors for the college student participants, who in turn will serve as mentors for the younger women and girls. A dynamic, interactive regional network of scientists, science teachers and young women potential scientists is planned.
