ORGANIZATIONAL: Miami Museum of Science & Planetarium PAESMEM

迈阿密科学博物馆提供了一个杰出的范例，说明一个传统的以社区为基础的机构如何开展外联活动，接触到有风险的青年和非传统人群，并取得了有意义的成功。十多年来，该博物馆开发、维持并提供了一个独特的指导项目组合，面向来自具有挑战性的经济和社会环境的年轻人，这些年轻人主要代表非裔美国人和墨西哥裔/拉丁裔家庭。许多科学课程的目标是K-12的学生，并通过实践项目、实地考察和实习来补充传统的学校科学课程。提交的提名包是为了支持总统卓越科学、数学和工程指导奖（PAESMEM），以表彰杰出的指导工作或计划，这些指导工作或计划增强了历史上未被充分代表的科学、数学和工程群体的参与。

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.
