Program for Gender Equity in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology (PGE): Reengineering Operation SMART

Girls Inc.寻求从国家科学基金会的性别平等计划中获得3万美元的规划拨款，以制定一项计划和建议，以重新设计我们的运营SMART计划。有了拟议的拨款，Girls Inc.将汇编和评估与女孩和科学、数学、工程和技术有关的研究、技术和我们自己的经验。然后，我们将召开一次专家会议，讨论这方面的知识，并帮助制定操作SMART的工程化程序设计和演示计划。这将使我们能够提供一个知情、相关、可访问和令人兴奋的新计划，以吸引和保持新一代女孩在科学、数学、工程和技术领域的兴趣。

Girls Incorporated seeks a planning grant of $30,000 from the National Science Foundation'sProgram in Gender Equity to develop a plan and proposal to reengineer our OperationSMART program. With the proposed grant, Girls Inc. will compile and assess the research, technology, and our own experience relative to girls and science, math, engineering, and technology. We will then convene a meeting of experts to discuss this body of knowledgeand help map out are engineered program design and demonstration plan for OperationSMART. This will enable us to provide an informed, relevant, accessible, and exciting new program to capture and retain the interest of a new generation of girls in the areasof science, math, engineering, and technology.
