Over three years, in consultation with high school personnel, QCC Tech-ASCEND will select seven groups of high school students judged to be likely candidates for high technology industries or science careers. The project begins with 25 students and expands to 75 students by the end of the third year. These students will attend weekly two-hour sessions for 30 weeks during the academic year in which they will participate in sustained experiences that explore fiber optics, lasers, CAD/CNC machining and mathematics in a three-cycle program. Experiences will be in an informal setting designed to excite as well as educate. Participants will use a variety of high technology devices and instruments in both structured and non-structured activities. Nontraditional students will be encouraged to participate, and several strategies will be employed to help them succeed. In addition, there will be two mathematics anxiety workshops and twenty mathematics skills workshop sessions. Faculty and student role models will be present. Careful evaluation of attitudinal changes in participants and their parents, together with participant skill mastery, will occur throughout the project. A sourcebook for parents and one for high school counselors and college advisors will be prepared and distributed, as well as videotapes describing career opportunities and educational issues.

在三年的时间里，QCC Tech-Ascend将与高中人员协商，挑选七组被评为可能进入高科技行业或科学职业的高中生。该项目从25名学生开始，到第三年结束时扩展到75名学生。这些学生将参加每周两个小时的课程，为期30周，在此期间，他们将参与在三个周期的计划中探索光纤、激光、CAD/CNC加工和数学的持续体验。体验将在一个非正式的环境中进行，旨在刺激和教育。参与者将在有组织和非有组织的活动中使用各种高科技设备和工具。将鼓励非传统学生参与，并将采用几种策略来帮助他们取得成功。此外，还将举办两个数学焦虑工作坊和二十个数学技能工作坊。教职员工和学生的榜样将出席。在整个项目中，将仔细评估参与者及其家长的态度变化，以及参与者的技能掌握情况。将编写和分发一本供家长使用的资料手册，以及一本供高中辅导员和大学顾问使用的教材，以及描述职业机会和教育问题的录像带。
