REVEL 2002-2005 (Research and Education - Volcanoes, Exploration and Life)

该奖项为“狂欢计划”提供资金，这是一项外展和教师专业发展计划，建立在1996年华盛顿大学(UW)启动的一项试点计划的基础上。该计划将包括来自不同州的12名K-12教师，参与一系列与奋进和胡安德富卡板块系统正在进行的热液喷口系统研究有关的活动。教师们将参加R/V Thompson号或R/V Atlantis号上的游轮，并将有从事海上海洋研究的第一手经验。他们将与Alvin潜水器或名为Abe的自动水下机器人合作。此外，他们将参加邮轮前和邮轮后的讲习班，以确保他们在海上获得的经验可以转化为他们的学生和其他课堂。该项目的总体目标是鼓励研究小组和科学教育工作者之间的合作和伙伴关系。该大学每年都为船运提供大量的配套资金。该项目将由海洋科学部和小学、中学和非正规教育部联合资助。

This award provides funding for the "REVEL Project", an outreach and teacher professional development program that builds on a pilot program initiated at the University of Washington (UW) in 1996. The program will include twelve K-12 teachers from a variety of states in a suite of activities related to ongoing research on hydrothermal vent systems of the Endeavour and Juan de Fuca plate systems. The teachers will participate in cruises aboard the R/V THOMPSON or the R/V ATLANTIS and will have first-hand experience working on sea-going oceanographic research. They will work with the submersible ALVIN or an autonomous underwater vehicle called ABE. In addition, they will participate in pre and post-cruise workshops to ensure that the experiences they gain at sea can be translated to their students and other classrooms. The overall goal of the project is to encourage collaboration and partnerships between research groups and science educators. Significant matching funds have been provided by the University for shiptime each year. The program will be jointly funded by the Division of Ocean Sciences and Division of Elementary, Secondary and Informal Education.
