John Carroll University, Cleveland's International Women's Air and Space Museum and Cleveland Public Schools are partnering in a three-year project to provide a cross-age, collaborative exhibit development experience to increase young peoples' science understanding and interest in science and teaching careers. The program exposes 120+ high school and undergraduate women to the skills of educational program planning and implementation. Content includes science, technology, engineering and math related to flight, and the history and role of women in flight related careers. The project proposes a highly supportive learning environment with museum, science and education experts working alongside students at secondary and undergraduate levels to design exhibits that will meet the interest and needs of the museum, and the young children and families from Cleveland schools who visit. Through qualitative and quantitative methods, the evaluation will measure change in participant career interests, content understanding and perception of science, technology, engineering and math subjects, and skill development in presenting these concepts to public audience members. Public and professional audience experiences will also be evaluated. More than nine hundred local elementary school age children, their families and 15,000 general public audience members will participate in student-designed, museum-based exhibits and programs. Deliverables include a model for university/museum partnerships in providing exhibit development and science learning experiences, three team-developed permanent exhibits about flight and women in science, a set of biographies about women and flight in DVD format and three annual museum based community events. The model program will be informed by national advisors from museum/university partners across the United States who will attend workshops in connection with the projects public presentations in years one and two. These meetings will both provide opportunities to reflect on the program progress and to develop new strategies in the evolution of the program design. Workshop participants will develop plans to implement similar programs in their home locations, impacting another layer of public audiences. The transferability of the model to these new sites will be measured in year three of the proposal. An additional 25,000 participants are expected to be impacted in the five years following the grant period. Beyond the implementation sites, the model's impact will be disseminated by the PI and participants in the program through peer reviewed journals and presentations at national conferences.

约翰卡罗尔大学，克利夫兰国际妇女航空航天博物馆和克利夫兰公立学校正在合作开展一个为期三年的项目，提供跨年龄，合作展览开发经验，以增加年轻人的科学理解和对科学和教学事业的兴趣。 该计划使120多名高中和本科女性了解教育计划规划和实施的技能。 内容包括与飞行有关的科学、技术、工程和数学，以及妇女在飞行相关职业中的历史和作用。 该项目提出了一个高度支持性的学习环境，博物馆，科学和教育专家与中学和大学生一起设计展览，以满足博物馆的兴趣和需求，以及参观克利夫兰学校的儿童和家庭。 通过定性和定量方法，评估将衡量参与者职业兴趣的变化，对科学，技术，工程和数学学科的内容理解和看法，以及向公众观众介绍这些概念的技能发展。 公众和专业观众的经验也将得到评估。 超过900名当地小学适龄儿童，他们的家庭和15,000名普通观众将参加学生设计的，以博物馆为基础的展览和节目。 展览包括一个大学/博物馆合作模式，提供展览开发和科学学习经验，三个团队开发的关于飞行和妇女参与科学的永久展览，一套关于妇女和飞行的DVD格式传记，以及三个年度博物馆社区活动。 示范项目将由来自美国各地博物馆/大学合作伙伴的国家顾问提供信息，他们将参加与第一年和第二年项目公开演示有关的研讨会。 这些会议将提供机会来反思计划的进展，并在计划设计的演变中制定新的战略。 研讨会的参与者将制定计划，在他们的家乡实施类似的计划，影响另一层的公众受众。 将在提案的第三年衡量该模型在这些新地点的可移植性。 预计在赠款期结束后的五年内，还将有25 000名参与者受到影响。 除了实施地点之外，该模型的影响将由PI和该计划的参与者通过同行评审的期刊和国家会议上的演讲来传播。
