This grant supports a two-year OEDG project at Michigan Technological University for minority pre-college students and their educators to infuse readily available geoscience education units into the secondary education classroom. This project, "Geoscience PrEP (Precollege Enterprise Program)" will target populations underrepresented in geoscience careers as well as their educators.The Geoscience PrEP will establish on campus pre-college programming where 36 students and six teachers from three schools will practice and become familiar with geology and geological engineering with the end goal of participants returning to their schools for continued dissemination and replication of the subject and activities with their peers.The project goals are to:1. Increase interest and participation of underrepresented populations in geoscience education through summer pre-college programming in an environmentally pristine location as well as in-school and informal education environments; 2. Enhance the ability of secondary educators to readily provide geoscience education through the creation of hands-on academic geoscience activity modules delivered at the summer precollege program and replicated by educators with professional development, curriculum modules, in-school support, and continuing education; and3. Increase awareness of geoscience careers and increased student enrollment in geoscience undergraduate degree programs by groups traditionally underrepresented in this area. Intellectual Merit: This project advances knowledge about the efficiency and effectiveness of pre-college geoscience programs, including replicating undergraduate geoscience curriculum within secondary schools.Broader Impact: This project broadens participation by underrepresented groups in geoscience.

这笔赠款支持密歇根理工大学的一项为期两年的OEDG项目，该项目旨在帮助少数民族大学预科学生及其教育工作者将现成的地球科学教育单元融入中学教育课堂。这个名为“地球科学预科（大学预科企业计划）”的项目将针对地球科学职业中代表性不足的人群及其教育工作者。地球科学预备课程将建立在校园的大学预科项目中，来自三所学校的36名学生和6名教师将实践并熟悉地质和地质工程，最终目标是参与者返回学校，与同龄人一起继续传播和复制这一主题和活动。项目目标是：1。通过在环境原始地区以及在学校和非正式教育环境中开展暑期大学预科课程，提高代表性不足的人口对地球科学教育的兴趣和参与；2. 通过创建夏季大学预科课程中提供的动手学术地球科学活动模块，提高中学教育工作者随时提供地球科学教育的能力，并由教育工作者复制专业发展、课程模块、校内支持和继续教育；说谎。提高对地球科学职业的认识，并增加传统上在该领域代表性不足的群体在地球科学本科学位课程中的学生入学率。智力优势：该项目提高了对大学预科地球科学课程的效率和有效性的认识，包括在中学复制本科地球科学课程。更广泛的影响：该项目扩大了代表性不足的群体对地球科学的参与。
