Terrascope Youth Radio

这个项目建议创建一个节目，让城市青少年发展、报道、写作、制作和主持一个关于环境和地球系统科学的定期广播节目。该项目的一个目标是向其他城市青少年提供他们认为相关，有趣和令人兴奋的STEM信息，以灌输他们对环境和地球系统科学的赋权感和知识。该项目将为大学如何参与当地青年社区创造一个模式，扩大其研究人员所做工作的影响。该项目汇集了一系列独特的合作伙伴关系，包括研究型大学（麻省理工学院）、城市赞助的青年项目（马萨诸塞州剑桥市）；当地公立学校系统；全国广播网；成立的青年广播组织；全国性的科学新闻/谈话广播节目（《科学星期五》）；一个以网络为基础的组织，专门从事独立广播节目的分发，以及非正式学习项目的经验丰富的评估人员（古德曼研究集团）。了解复杂环境问题的指导将由已有的麻省理工学院Terrascope项目的教职员工和学生提供。参与者将看到他们的作品在全国范围内传播，既可以通过广播，也可以通过科学星期五媒体网站的播客发布。

This project proposes creating a program in which urban teens will develop, report, write, produce and host a regularly broadcast radio program on environmental and Earth-system science. A goal of the project is to reach other urban teens with STEM information in a format that they see as relevant, interesting, and exciting to instill in them a sense of empowerment and knowledge about environmental and Earth system science. The project would create a model for how universities can become engaged in local youth communities broadening the impact of work done by their own researchers. The project brings together a unique set of partnerships including a research university (MIT), city-sponsored youth programs (Cambridge, MA); a local public school system; a national radio network; an established youth radio organization; a nationally-broadcast science news/talk radio program (Science Friday); a web-based organization specializing in the distribution of independent radio programming, and experienced evaluators of informal-learning programs (Goodman Research Group). Guidance in understanding complex environmental issues will be provided by faculty, staff and students of the pre-existing MIT Terrascope program. Participants will see their work distributed nationally, both on air and as podcasts delivered via the Science Friday media site.
