Various K-12 educational programs have been developed by University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus, which coherently couple motivation, orientation, training, and follow-up activities of K-12 teachers and students with undergraduate, graduate, and university professors. Among them are the programs enclosed in the Earth Science Initiative: Science on Wheels, GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment), SCBL (Sensors and Calculator-Based Laboratory) and the Geology Outreach. University graduate and undergraduate students are already a significant part of the training activitiesresulting in a favorable model for the development and motivation of future science and engineering professionals and pre-college teachers. Therefore, the GUEST K-12 (Graduate and Undergraduate Students Enhancing Science and Technology in K-12 Schools) program proposes to coordinate and reinforce the partnership between the university and K-12 schools by funding highly qualified undergraduate (four) and graduate (sixteen) students to serve as resources in the pre-college classroom. This initiative will be coupled to existing K-12 outreach programs and will benefit more than three hundred teachers and over ten thousand students. The GUEST K-12 program will transform precollege teachers into science and technology proficient educators while fellows will improve communication and teaching-related skills. This award is co-supported by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

波多黎各大学马亚圭斯校区制定了各种 K-12 教育计划，将 K-12 教师和学生与本科生、研究生和大学教授的动机、定向、培训和后续活动紧密结合起来。 其中包括地球科学计划中包含的项目：车轮上的科学、GLOBE（有益于环境的全球学习和观测）、SCBL（基于传感器和计算器的实验室）和地质外展。大学研究生和本科生已经成为培训活动的重要组成部分，为未来理工科专业人员和大学预科教师的发展和激励提供了良好的模式。因此，GUEST K-12（加强 K-12 学校的研究生和本科生科学技术）计划旨在通过资助高素质本科生（4 名）和研究生（16 名）作为大学预科课堂的资源，协调和加强大学和 K-12 学校之间的伙伴关系。该举措将与现有的 K-12 外展计划相结合，将使三百多名教师和一万名学生受益。 GUEST K-12 计划将把大学预科教师转变为精通科学和技术的教育者，而研究员将提高沟通和教学相关技能。 该奖项由数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室共同支持。
