GSE/DIS - Public Engagement for the Dissemination of The Gender Chip Project

这一传播项目旨在通过实施广泛的全国公众参与运动来传播性别芯片项目，从而扩大女孩和妇女对科学、技术、工程、数学和计算机科学教育的参与。其目标是促进对女孩和妇女获得STEM教育机会和职业的方式的发现和理解。性别芯片项目是一个多平台的项目，包括一个小时的电影纪录片和一套配套的丰富材料，旨在深化讨论和询问，同时也为对STEM感兴趣的青年提供进一步的体验活动。整个计划以纪录片为基础，有针对性的课堂课程，全面的行动研讨会工具包，以及一个不断发展的网站，汇集了研究结果、最佳实践、专业发展活动和评估工具。工作室、培训和演示将覆盖全国各地的40多个大大小小的机构和组织。它将在这些部门吸引6000多名个人：(1)中学和高中教师和辅导员；(2)大学和大学教职员工和管理人员；(3)课后和组织的非营利性项目工作人员；(4)专业发展协会；(5)公司人员；(6)地方、地区和国家性别平等和STEM相关会议的与会者。INTELLECTUAL优点--性别芯片项目是一种促进对女孩和年轻妇女获得STEM和计算机技术教育机会和职业的方式的发现、理解和行动。这部纪录片和材料旨在鼓励对话、询问和行动，特别是在STEM职业生涯中代表性不足的群体之间。与STEM和性别平等研究和教育领域的领导人合作开发了纪录片、网站、研讨会和课程材料，为服务和指导女孩的成年人提供材料、培训和支持。BROADER影响--通过深化当前的合作伙伴关系，接触区域和国家组织，以及在这一领域工作的公认的领导人、项目和其他NSF资助者，该传播项目将为全国各地对年轻女性是否追求和留在STEM职业生涯的决定产生直接和间接影响的各种团体和个人提供迫切需要的资源和培训机会。性别芯片项目以“妇女如何在为成年和职业生涯做准备的同时，切实开始参与更广泛的STEM领域”为主题，进行更广泛和更深层次的讨论和行动。通过在各种平台上传播这部电影及其所有配套材料--从现场互动到网上随时可用的材料，性别芯片项目将极大地支持和鼓励主要的STEM教育者和导师在年轻女性的生活和职业选择方面做出改变。

This dissemination project seeks to expand the participation of girls and women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and computer science education by implementing a broad, national public engagement campaign to disseminate The Gender Chip Project. The goal is to advance discovery and understanding about the way that girls and women access STEM educational opportunities and careers. The Gender Chip Project is a multi-platform program which includes, a one-hour film documentary and companion set of enrichment materials designed to deepen discussion and inquiry, while also offering further experiential activities for youth interested in STEM. The overall program, which builds upon the documentary as a foundation, features targeted classroom curricula, a comprehensive action workshop toolkit, and an evolving web site that aggregates research findings, best practices, professional development activities and evaluation instruments.Workshops, training and presentations will reach more than forty institutions and organizations, both large and small, spanning the country. It will engage more than 6,000 individuals throughout these sectors: (1) middle and high school teachers and counselors; (2) college and university faculty and administrators; (3) after-school and organizational nonprofit program staff; (4) professional development associations; (5) corporate personnel; (6) local, regional and national gender equity and STEM-related conference attendees.INTELLECTUAL MERIT-- The Gender Chip Project is a vehicle to advance discovery, understanding and action about the way girls and young women access STEM and computer technology educational opportunities and careers. The documentary and materials have been designed to stimulate dialogue, inquiry and action, especially among groups underrepresented in STEM careers. The documentary, web site, workshop and curricula materials have been developed in collaboration with leaders in STEM and gender equity research and education to provide the materials, training and support for adults who serve and mentor girls.BROADER IMPACT-- By deepening current partnerships and reaching out to regional and national organizations, and recognized leaders, programs, and other NSF grantees working in this area, this dissemination project will contribute critically needed resources and training opportunities for a variety of groups and individuals across the country who have a direct and indirect impact on young women's decisions about whether or not to pursue, and stay with STEM careers. The Gender Chip Project takes the theme of "how do women realistically begin to participate in wider STEM arenas as they prepare for adulthood and careers" to a broader and deeper level of discussion and action. By disseminating the film and all its companion materials throughout a variety of platforms -- from live interactions to materials always available online, the Gender Chip Project will significantly support and encourage key STEM educators and mentors making a difference in young women's lives and professional choices.
