The Ocean of Potentiality Project, in cooperation with scientific, multiple nonprofit and state education organizations, will build and support a Hawaii-wide experiential and accessible guidance-instruction network to facilitate individuals who are disabled to attain interest, education and careers in science, mathematics, engineering and technology (SMET). The project will be organized and conducted by the University of Hawaii in cooperation with multiple scientific and nonprofit and state education organizations. The project calls for use of a three-tiered approach for the change of attitudes and for provision of educational opportunities on a student, educator/family, and state policy level. We propose to create a program that involves a core of students, families, scientists, educators, and university-level science teacher trainers who will affect the larger population of students by affecting science education curriculum, and educational practices and policy in the state. The project proposes to identify, conduct, evaluate, and disseminate hands-on, field-based science. Emphasis will be placed on activities appropriate for students with and without disabilities to promote collaborative work in heterogeneous teams to actively experience science while learning about the human ecology of Hawaii. Role models and mentors, many with disabilities themselves, will interact with the student teams to advance access and inclusion of all students in the SMET fields. Assistive technology will be used in concert with Internet display arenas to insure that students will be fully included and empowered in SMET activities. Electronic technology (including the Internet) will be used to encourage networking and information dissemination among student teams, educational organizations, administrators, and members of the community. The project will be carefully documented for public television and Internet venues. All publications produced by the project wil l be available through fully accessible electronic media.

潜力海洋项目将与科学、多个非营利性组织和州立教育组织合作，建立和支持一个覆盖夏威夷的体验式和无障碍指导网络，以帮助残疾人获得对科学、数学、工程和技术(SMET)的兴趣、教育和职业。该项目将由夏威夷大学与多个科学和非营利组织以及州立教育组织合作组织和实施。该项目要求使用三层方法来改变态度，并在学生、教育工作者/家庭和国家政策层面提供教育机会。我们建议创建一个由学生、家庭、科学家、教育工作者和大学一级的科学教师培训人员组成的核心项目，他们将通过影响该州的科学教育课程、教育实践和政策来影响更多的学生。该项目建议确定、开展、评估和传播以实地为基础的实践科学。重点将放在适合残疾学生和非残疾学生的活动上，以促进不同团队的协作工作，在学习夏威夷人文生态的同时积极体验科学。榜样和导师，其中许多本身是残疾的，将与学生团队互动，以促进所有学生进入SMET领域并纳入其中。辅助技术将与互联网展示场所配合使用，以确保学生充分参与SMET活动并赋予其能力。电子技术(包括互联网)将被用来鼓励学生团队、教育组织、管理人员和社区成员之间的联网和信息传播。该项目将被仔细记录在公共电视和互联网场所。L项目制作的所有出版物都将通过完全无障碍的电子媒体提供。
