The Louisville Science Center in collaboration with The Lincoln Foundation plans to: (1) establish WYSci's continuance as part of the Whitney M. Young Scholars Program, (2) extend the program to include 35 additional hours of instruction in a week-long summer program, (3) expand opportunities to involve parents and other caregivers, and (4) provide significant evaluation data. The evaluation component would be used to determine the program's effect on participating students and parents and to inform others as to what factors are important for melding informal and formal science education. The program is designed to positively affect the learning of young people in the seventh grade who are academically talented, but socio-economically disadvantaged. Over the three-year period, 150 students will receive over 50 hours of instruction by the staff.

路易斯维尔科学中心与林肯基金会合作计划：（1）建立WYSci的延续作为惠特尼M。青年学者计划，（2）延长该计划，包括为期一周的暑期课程35个额外的教学小时，（3）扩大机会，让父母和其他照顾者参与，（4）提供重要的评估数据。 评估部分将用于确定该计划对参与学生和家长的影响，并告知其他人哪些因素对融合非正式和正式科学教育很重要。 该方案旨在积极影响七年级学生的学习，他们在学术上很有才华，但在社会经济上处于不利地位。 在三年的时间里，150名学生将接受工作人员超过50小时的指导。
