Promoting Ocean Science and Technology Through Informal Science Education: Opportunities for Underrepresented Youth

该奖项将为蒙特利/萨利纳斯地区代表性不足的中学生提供海洋科学教育机会。该项目是SEA（科学教育冒险）实验室和蒙特利湾加州州立大学RISE项目以及该地区4所中学之间的合作成果。RISE（科学与教育招聘）计划将招募并为代表性不足的学生参与者提供津贴。SEA实验室将设计并实施一个为期一周的暑期实地青年项目，一个针对青少年及其家庭的日间项目，以及一个针对高中生和初中教师的SEA指南指导项目。项目工作人员将与中学教师合作，实施符合加州科学框架的年级海洋科学课程，并开展教师规划和课程开发研讨会。一年级将专注于规划和试点基于实地的暑期学生体验和SEA指南指导计划。在第2年和第3年，将实施所有组件。项目评估将与加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的教师合作进行。

Revised Abstract, 0303319, Crane, N., Cal. State University Monterey Bay FoundationThis award will provide ocean science education opportunities for underrepresented middle school students in the Monterey/Salinas area. The project is a collaborative effort between the SEA (Science Education Adventure) Lab and RISE programs at California State University at Monterey Bay and 4 middle schools in the region. The RISE (Recruitment in Science and Education) program will recruit and provide stipends for underrepresented student participants. SEA lab will design and implement a one-week field-based summer youth program, a day program for youth and their families and a SEA Guides mentoring program for high school students and middle school teachers. Project staff will work with middle school teachers to implement grade appropriate ocean science curriculum designed to fit within the California Science Framework and conduct teacher planning and curriculum development workshops.Year 1 will focus on planning and piloting the field-based summer student experience and the SEA Guides mentoring program. In years 2 and 3, all components will be implemented. Project assessment will be conducted in collaboration with faculty at the University of California Santa Cruz.
