In 1998, Racquel Aquillon, a representative from Multnomah County working with Latina girls at Clara Vista, approached Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) to request help in creating a program which would address the retention of Latina girls who are at the highest risk of dropping out of school and who had, in her words, "given up on math and science." OMSI is interested in furthering its association with the Latina community, in addressing issues in math and science specific to young women and in expanding its understanding of unique issues facing these communities. This proposed planning grant seeks funds to: o host three symposia which will inform, facilitate discussion, and prepare OMSI staff and community collaborators to effectively plan a program o prototype recruitment and mentorship activities involving Latina girls in third and eighth grades, as well as recruitment and science inquiry training activities for Latina preschoolers and their parents, to evaluate the feasibility of proposed approaches for a future large collaborative project, and o collaborate with community leaders to write one or more large collaborative grants for comprehensive programs to address the recruitment and retention of Latina girls in science and technology, including preschool parent/child education, girls science clubs for third through eighth grades, camp-in programs linking professional women scientists to young Latina women, camp and class opportunities, special projects, including girls' web design classes, family events, community science fairs with Latina girls (club members) in leadership roles, and peer mentorship and volunteer opportunities for Latina girls. Three symposia would afford OMSI and community collaborators the opportunity to build an extensive knowledge of gender equity and Latino community issues. The intention is to use the symposia as a stage for discussions and planning sessions around relevant topics, using nationally renowned professionals to inform and launch discussions. During the course of the planning grant, OMSI will work with girls from project OFELIA, a program of OCHA (the Oregon council for Latina Advancement) to test and document the feasibility of proposed strategies.

1998年，来自Multnomah县的代表Racquel Aquillon与Clara Vista的拉丁裔女孩一起工作，她与俄勒冈州科学与工业博物馆（OMSI）联系，请求帮助创建一个项目，以解决拉丁裔女孩的保留问题，这些女孩面临着辍学的最高风险，用她的话说，“放弃了数学和科学。" OMSI有兴趣进一步与拉丁裔社区的联系，在解决数学和科学具体到年轻妇女的问题，并扩大其对这些社区面临的独特问题的理解。 这项拟议的规划赠款寻求资金，用于： o举办三次专题讨论会，为OMSI工作人员和社区提供信息，促进讨论，并做好准备 合作者有效地规划一个项目 o原型招聘和辅导活动，涉及拉丁美洲女孩在第三和第八年级，以及 作为拉丁裔学龄前儿童及其家长的招募和科学探究培训活动， 评估未来大型合作项目的可行性，以及 o与社区领导人合作，为综合项目编写一份或多份大型合作赠款。 解决科学和技术领域招募和保留拉丁裔女孩问题的方案，包括 学前家长/儿童教育，三到八年级的女孩科学俱乐部，露营计划 将专业女科学家与年轻的拉丁妇女联系起来，营地和课堂机会，特别 项目，包括女孩的网页设计课程，家庭活动，社区科学博览会与拉丁美洲女孩 (club成员）担任领导角色，并为拉丁裔女孩提供同侪指导和志愿者机会。 三个专题讨论会将为OMSI和社区合作者提供机会，以建立对性别平等和拉丁美洲社区问题的广泛了解。 其目的是利用专题讨论会作为围绕相关主题进行讨论和规划会议的舞台，利用国内知名的专业人士提供信息并发起讨论。 在规划赠款期间，OMSI将与OCHA（俄勒冈州拉丁裔进步理事会）方案OFELIA项目的女孩合作，测试和记录拟议战略的可行性。
