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

港湾分会海洋研究所、印度河社区学院和圣露西县学区结成伙伴关系，为“转折点”年轻女性(从初中到高中、高中到大学、重新进入专业课程工作的女性)提供经验和材料，旨在支持她们追求以科学为导向的职业道路。在中学和社区大学层面，计划开展一个新的项目--探索以科学和技术为基础的女性职业。在中学层面，计划扩大暑期“我们就是女孩”项目。科学家将担任大学生参与者的导师，而大学生参与者又将担任年轻女性的导师。计划建立一个由科学家、科学教师和可能成为科学家的年轻女性组成的充满活力和互动的区域网络。

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.
