AST-0120960PI: Craig, MatthewInst: Minnesota State Univ. MoorheadWith this award under the MPS Internships in Public Science Education Program, Minnesota State University Moorhead (MSUM) and the MSUM Regional Science Center (RSC) will develop a traveling public exhibit and associated curricular material in each of four topics : dark matter in spiral galaxies, probability games of chance and beyond, X-ray microtomography, and green chemistry. The underlying theme of these topics is 'Seeing is Believing'. Using regional resources and examples, participating teachers and students will be able to visualize the underlying concepts and develop material to increase public understanding of this topical research. Each summer five teachers, six undergraduates, and a member of the White Earth Tribal and Community College staff will work with MSUM scientists and educators and RSC staff to develop material for two projects. Exhibits will be introduced to the general public during a multi-day exhibit at WETCC scheduled to coincide with the White Earth Reservation's annual pow-wow. Exhibits will then be displayed at the Regional Science Center over the summer and circulate through local classrooms during the academic year. Curricular materials will be disseminated through a yearly educational workshop offered at MSUM. This award is funded by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities.***

AST-0120960PI：克雷格，马修Inst：明尼苏达州立大学。穆尔黑德 明尼苏达州立大学穆尔黑德分校 (MSUM) 和 MSUM 区域科学中心 (RSC) 凭借 MPS 公共科学教育实习计划下的这一奖项，将针对四个主题开发巡回公共展览和相关课程材料：螺旋星系中的暗物质、机会及其他概率游戏、X 射线显微断层扫描和绿色化学。 这些主题的基本主题是“眼见为实”。 利用区域资源和示例，参与的教师和学生将能够形象化基本概念并开发材料，以增加公众对这一主题研究的理解。 每年夏天，五名教师、六名本科生以及白土部落和社区学院的一名工作人员将与 MSUM 科学家、教育工作者以及 RSC 工作人员合作，为两个项目开发材料。 展品将在 WETCC 举行的为期多天的展览期间向公众介绍，该展览计划与白地球保留地的年度祈祷活动同时举行。 展品将在夏季在地区科学中心展出，并在学年期间在当地教室流通。 课程材料将通过 MSUM 举办的年度教育研讨会进行传播。 该奖项由 MPS 多学科活动办公室资助。***
