The Ocean Institute (OI), in partnership with Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Scripps), Capistrano Valley Boys & Girls Clubs (B&GC) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), is developing "SeaTech," a multi-year, Youth-based ITEST program providing 120 female and minority middle and high school students from underserved populations with 391 contact hours of information technology (IT)-intensive oceanographic research experiences. SeaTech content focuses on understanding the acoustic behaviors of whales and dolphins, specifically, sound production, noise impacts and acoustic population census in California, the Bering Sea and the Southern Ocean. SeaTech offers a two-year core program for 13 & 14 year olds consisting of a "Breadth of Exposure" phase and a "Depth of Skills" phase totaling 299 hours. The core program has three distinct elements -- after-school clubs, field explorations and summer research institutes -- and is augmented with efforts before and after: an Early Pipeline Development phase (52 hours) for youth age 12, and Internships (40 hours) for youth age 15. The three-year ITEST grant will host three cohorts of 40 participants each. Each youth participant will receive 391 total contact hours. Through efforts directed at parents, SeaTech anticipates involving 60 parents in about 80 hours of activities each year.Coordinated through and with the expertise of Capistrano Valley B&GC, recruitment will include orientation and information programs, a bilingual brochure and direct efforts by B&GC staff. In addition, recruitment will happen from local schools.INTELLECTUAL MERIT: IT-based studies of marine mammal bio-acoustics will 'hook' student interest in after-school clubs, field explorations and summer research institutes. SeaTech advances understanding of the role of broader pipeline development in addressing chronic recruitment and retention problems in teen-targeted IT programs. BROADER IMPACTS: SeaTech programming has been meticulously and demonstrably integrated into the afterschool programming at the B&GC. The SeaTech Club provides organizational structure to the teen activities at the B&GC; however, the IT curriculum is also integrated into two nationally renowned extant structures called Career Launch and Club Tech. Findings from the project's examination of recruitment, retention and parental involvement will have broad implications to the field of informal science education.

海洋研究所（OI）与斯克里普斯海洋学研究所（Scripps），卡皮斯特拉诺山谷男孩女孩俱乐部（B GC）和电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）合作，正在开发“SeaTech”，这是一个多年的，以青年为基础的ITEST计划，为来自服务不足人群的120名女性和少数民族初中和高中学生提供391个接触小时的信息技术（IT）密集型海洋学研究经验。SeaTech内容侧重于了解鲸鱼和海豚的声学行为，特别是加州，白令海和南大洋的声音产生，噪音影响和声学人口普查。SeaTech为13至14岁的青奥尔兹提供为期两年的核心课程，包括“曝光广度”阶段和“技能深度”阶段，共计299小时。 核心计划有三个不同的元素-课后俱乐部，实地考察和夏季研究机构-并在前后进行了努力：12岁青年的早期管道发展阶段（52小时）和15岁青年的实习（40小时）。 为期三年的ITEST赠款将容纳三批40名参与者。 每位青年参与者将获得391个总接触小时。 通过针对家长的努力，SeaTech预计每年将有60名家长参加约80小时的活动。通过Capistrano Valley B GC的专业知识进行协调，招聘将包括定向和信息计划，双语小册子和B GC工作人员的直接努力。 智力优势：以信息技术为基础的海洋哺乳动物生物声学研究将“吸引”学生对课外俱乐部、实地考察和暑期研究机构的兴趣。 SeaTech推进了对更广泛的管道开发在解决青少年目标IT计划中的长期招聘和保留问题方面的作用的理解。更广泛的影响：SeaTech编程已被精心和示范性地集成到课后编程在B GC。 SeaTech俱乐部为B GC的青少年活动提供组织结构;然而，IT课程也被整合到两个全国知名的现存结构中，称为职业生涯启动和俱乐部技术。该项目对招聘、保留和家长参与的审查结果将对非正规科学教育领域产生广泛影响。
