HRD-0429831迈阿密科学博物馆提供了一个杰出的范例，说明传统社区机构如何将其外联活动投向高危青年和非传统人口，并努力取得有意义的成功。十多年来，该博物馆开发、维持并提供了一系列独特的指导方案，帮助年轻人摆脱具有挑战性的经济和社会环境，这些方案主要代表非洲裔美国人和奇卡诺/拉丁裔家庭。许多科学计划以K-12学习者为目标，并通过动手项目、实地考察和实习来补充传统的学校科学课程。提交的提名方案是为了支持总统科学、数学和工程卓越导师奖(PAESMEM)，以表彰杰出的指导努力或计划，这些努力或计划加强了历史上代表性不足的群体在科学、数学和工程领域的参与。

HRD-0429831The Miami Museum of Science provides an outstanding exemplar of how a traditional community-based agency can cast its outreach activities to reach at-risk youth and non-traditional populations with the effort resulting in meaningful success. The Museum has developed, sustained and delivered a distinctive portfolio of mentoring programs to youth from challenging economic and social circumstances that represent mostly African-American and Chicano/Latino families for more than ten years. Many of the science programs target K-12 learners and supplement traditional school science curriculum using hands-on projects, field trips, and internships.The submitted nomination package is in support of a Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM) to recognize outstanding mentoring efforts or programs that enhance the participation of historically underrepresented groups in science, mathematics, and engineering.
