SoBRO TEC

这是一个要求南布朗克斯整体经济发展公司（SoBRO），一个以社区为基础的组织，与哥伦比亚大学的工程和应用科学学院和视觉教育媒体，一家专门从事技术教育的公司，为三年，以青年为基础的计划：SoBRO TEC合作。 该项目将为来自南部布朗克斯的180名少数民族高中生提供服务。布朗克斯是一个被贫困、失败的学校和社会问题所困扰的社区。 目标是在当地城市环境的背景下发展参与者的技术流动性，并通过在专业和创造性环境中接触IT应用（不相互排斥），拓宽这些少数民族和低收入参与者进入IT相关职业的切入点。这个为期三年的计划包括一系列课后，学期长度的模块和暑期课程。 学生将满足每天至少两个小时，每周三天，每学期共11周;夏季课程将满足每周20小时，在七周;达到每年最多230小时的接触。 这些模块使学生参与三个技术领域：城市空间的信息技术，探索涉及IT系统和网络的城市设计产品，如交通系统，公园和娱乐和公共服务产品以及手机;艺术和娱乐技术，电影和表演技术以及音乐制作;和建筑建模技术，材料和建筑策略，并建立你的梦想之家。 暑期课程提供了三种选择，建立在这些模块：实地考察系列，社区网络建设项目和实习。

This is a request for The South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation (SoBRO), a community-based organization, to partner with Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and Vision Education & Media, a firm specializing in technology education, for a three-year, youth-based program: SoBRO TEC. The program will serve up to 180 minority high school youth from the South Bronx -- a community beset by poverty, failing schools and social problems-in a project-based, design-centered program. The goals are to develop the participants' technological fluidity within the context of the local urban environment and to broaden the entry points to IT-related careers for these minority and low-income participants through exposure to IT applications in professional and creative settings (not mutually exclusive).This three-year program consists of a series of after school, semester-length modules and a summer program. Students will meet for at least two hours per day, three days per week for a total of 11 weeks per semester; summer programs will meet for 20 hours per week during seven weeks; reaching a maximum of 230 contact hours per year. The modules engage students in three areas of technology: Information Technology in Urban Spaces, exploring products of urban design that involve IT systems and networks such as transit systems, parks and recreation and public service offerings as well as the cellular phone; Art and Entertainment Technology, film and performance technology and music production; and Architectural Modeling Technology, materials and building strategies and building your dream house. The summer program offers three options that build on these modules: field trip series, community web-building projects, and internships.
