9977900SNYDER Mike Snyder, of the Directorate for International Programs, and other staff of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) will develop and implement a process to select and support U.S. delegations to participate in the second, third, and fourth Youth Science Festivals sponsored by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC). The second Festival is scheduled for summer 2000 in Singapore, and it is anticipated that future festivals will be held at two-year intervals, with Thailand and Australia having expressed interest in hosting the next two events. AAAS's work for each festival will follow a two-year cycle. AAAS will select delegations of 20 high school students and 5 adult chaperones from among candidates nominated by members of a diverse network of organizations advancing science education in U.S. high schools. The participants, who will have demonstrated success in science competitions, will be representative of the spectrum of the U.S. population and geography. In addition to administering orientation, educational, and logistical matters before and during the Festival, AAAS will execute a media strategy to leverage the Festival experience beyond the participants and their families. AAAS will also develop and manage post-Festival activities to encourage the participants to continue and build on their Festival experience for future educational and career directions.***

9977900SNYDER国际项目理事会的Mike Snyder和美国科学促进会（AAAS）的其他工作人员将制定和实施一项程序，以选择和支持美国代表团参加由亚太经济合作组织（APEC）主办的第二届，第三届和第四届青年科学论坛。 第二届艺术节定于2000年夏季在新加坡举行，预计今后的艺术节将每两年举行一次，泰国和澳大利亚已表示有兴趣主办下两届艺术节。 AAAS为每个节日的工作将遵循两年的周期。 AAAS将从促进美国高中科学教育的多元化组织网络成员提名的候选人中选出20名高中生和5名成人监护人。 参与者将在科学竞赛中取得成功，他们将代表美国人口和地理的光谱。 除了在艺术节之前和期间管理方向，教育和后勤事务外，AAAS还将执行媒体策略，以利用参与者及其家人之外的艺术节体验。 AAAS还将开发和管理节后活动，以鼓励参与者继续并建立他们的节日经验，为未来的教育和职业方向。
