This Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) project experiences and the numbers of Latinas choosing to pursue careers in science and technology.The three primary project goals of Latinas en Ciencia are: 1. To engage Latina girls in science and technology at early age before they've decided against science and technology career pathways.2. To support Latina girls' engagement with science and technology from preschool through high school.3. To change the internal culture at OMSI in order to make the Museum feel like home for the Latinas.Several strategies will be utilized to achieve these project goals. OMSI will create an outreach program in three communities with a large Latino population around the Portland Metropolitan area. Aimed at recruiting and supporting Latina girls in third through fifth grade, this program will help build ability and create opportunities for girls in science and technology, while reinforcing the girls' abilities, fostering independence, and creating an "I can succeed" attitude in the girls. Activities in each community will include school assemblies, a weekly science club, family science nights, overnight programs at the Museum, and summer camp experiences. OSMI will create a culture within the Museum that is conducive to attracting Latina girls and provide effective programs at the Museum, and summer camp experiences. OMSI will create a culture within the Museum that is conducive to attracting Latina girls and provide effective programs and opportunities for them in science and technology by instituting monthly Latino Family Science Days, utilizing bilingual staff and volunteers for interpretation, within the Latino Community and within the Museum will be linked to facilitate connections at all age levels, offering mentoring opportunities and building leadership abilities and self-confidence in the Latina girls. Community partnership established during the Planning Grant will also be further developed and nurtured.These various strategies will be evaluated to assess participation levels in different programs and for different age group and to assess the engagement of the Latina girls in science and technology activities. Academic and skills-based gains will also be evaluated for particular groups to provide useful insight into the effectiveness of the strategies employed. The hope is to determine which strategies are most effective so as to further understanding of how to engage Latina girls in science and technology through nonformal science experiences. By learning how to more effectively introduce this undeserved population to science and technology, nonformal science institutions can help Latina girls discover possible career paths in science and technology that may have otherwise been inconceivable.

这个俄勒冈州科学与工业博物馆（OMSI）项目的经验和选择从事科学和技术职业的拉丁裔人数。在拉丁裔女孩决定反对科学和技术职业道路之前，让她们在很小的时候就参与科学和技术。支持拉丁裔女孩从学前班到高中参与科学和技术。为了改变OMSI的内部文化，使博物馆感觉像拉丁美洲人的家。将利用几种策略来实现这些项目目标。 OMSI将在波特兰大都会区周围三个拉丁裔人口众多的社区建立一个外展计划。 该计划旨在招募和支持三至五年级的拉丁裔女孩，帮助培养能力，为女孩创造科学和技术机会，同时加强女孩的能力，培养独立性，并在女孩中树立“我能成功”的态度。 每个社区的活动将包括学校集会，每周一次的科学俱乐部，家庭科学之夜，博物馆的夜间活动和夏令营体验。 OSMI将在博物馆内创造一种有利于吸引拉丁裔女孩的文化，并在博物馆提供有效的课程和夏令营体验。 OMSI将在博物馆内创造一种有利于吸引拉丁裔女孩的文化，并通过每月举办拉丁裔家庭科学日，利用双语工作人员和志愿者进行翻译，为他们提供有效的科学和技术方案和机会，在拉丁裔社区和博物馆内将被链接，以促进所有年龄层的联系，提供辅导机会，培养拉丁裔女孩的领导能力和自信心。 还将进一步发展和培育在规划赠款期间建立的社区伙伴关系，将对这些不同的战略进行评估，以评估不同方案和不同年龄组的参与程度，并评估拉丁美洲女孩参与科学和技术活动的情况。 还将对特定群体的学术和技能收益进行评估，以便对所采用战略的有效性提供有益的见解。 希望是确定哪些策略是最有效的，以进一步了解如何通过非正规科学经验从事科学和技术的拉丁裔女孩。 通过学习如何更有效地介绍这个不应得的人口科学和技术，非正规科学机构可以帮助拉丁裔女孩发现可能的职业道路，在科学和技术，否则可能是不可想象的。
