This proposal describes a Track 1 project that recognizes that middle school students are at an age when they lose a sense of scientific curiosity and excitement (National Research Council, 2003). The student foci of the project will be 1) to engage students in hands-on interdisciplinary science activities to spur their excitement in scientific exploration and 2) through the GK-12 fellows, to provide the middle school students with scientific role models from backgrounds similar to their own. The graduate fellow focus of the program will be to provide graduate students in STEM disciplines with opportunities to improve skills in communication and pedagogy for diverse audiences. The aim of the Howard University GK-12 program: Interdisciplinary Science for Middle Schools (ISMS) will be to expose GK-12 fellows, teachers, and students to new perspectives and skills in STEM fields, and to create new opportunities in STEM fields for all participants. This project is a joint effort of Howard University Graduate School and two Washington, DC public charter middle schools, the Howard University Public Charter Middle School for Math and Science and the Cesar Chavez Public Charter Middle School for Public Policy. The Howard B. Owens Science Center in Prince George's County, MD, will also be a partner.

该提案描述了一个轨道1项目，该项目认识到中学生正处于失去科学好奇心和兴奋感的年龄（国家研究理事会，2003年）。该项目的学生焦点将是1）让学生参与实践跨学科科学活动，激发他们对科学探索的热情，2）通过GK-12研究员，为中学生提供来自类似背景的科学榜样。该计划的研究生研究员重点将是为STEM学科的研究生提供机会，以提高不同受众的沟通和教学技能。霍华德大学GK-12计划的目的：中学跨学科科学（ISMS）将使GK-12研究员，教师和学生接触STEM领域的新视角和技能，并为所有参与者创造STEM领域的新机会。 该项目是霍华德大学研究生院和华盛顿特区两所公立特许中学的共同努力，即霍华德大学数学和科学公立特许中学和塞萨尔查韦斯公共政策公立特许中学。霍华德B。位于马里兰州乔治王子县的欧文斯科学中心也将成为合作伙伴。
