GSE/DIF:SciGirls en Espanol

智力优势：SciGirls是蜻蜓卫视的一个全国推广项目，由美国国家科学基金会“科学与工程中的性别研究”项目资助。SciGirls授权PBS外展专业人员和科学博物馆教育工作者与当地青年组织，教育工作者和家长合作，为社区中的女孩提供实际的科学鼓励和职业指导。为了满足美国人口结构的巨大变化和对更多女性科学家和工程师的需求，该项目将把SciGirls项目扩展到全国的拉丁裔社区。SciGirls en Español将为现有的拉丁裔服务组织提供西班牙语印刷品和视频资源、领导人培训和赠款，以帮助鼓励更多地参与STEM。该项目是双城公共电视台、华盛顿特区自力更生基金会和KLCS TV/DT（美国公共广播公司授权给洛杉矶联合学区的一个成员站）之间的合作项目。SciGirls强调了最新的研究，即什么策略最有效地吸引女孩参与STEM活动：扩大沟通和合作；为科学寻找现实环境；促进开放式调查；重视认识、观察和描述世界的多种方式。SciGirls的资源以探究为重点，无论其科学背景如何，课后教育者都可以轻松地使用这些资源，为女孩创造成功的STEM体验。更广泛的影响：SciGirls en Español的材料将通过该地区的电视台KLCS TV/DT提供给全国各地的课后项目，以及洛杉矶联合学区的“Beyond the Bell”倡议。项目pi还将向其他组织（NSTA、ASTC和PBS电视台）分发材料的副本，并在DragonflyTV的网站www.pbskids.org/dragonflytv上提供整套资源（流媒体视频和活动指南）。评估结果将与非正式科学教育研究界共享，并在全国课后协会年会和美国国家科学基金会联合年会上报告。

Intellectual Merit: SciGirls is a national outreach program of DragonflyTV supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation's Research on Gender in Science and Engineering Program. SciGirls empowers PBS outreach professionals and science museum educators, in partnership with local youth organizations, educators and parents, to deliver hands-on science encouragement and career guidance to girls in their communities. To meet the dramatic changes in U.S. demographics and the need for more women scientists and engineers, this project will expand SciGirls programming into Latino communities across the nation. SciGirls en Español will provide Spanish-language print and video resources, leader training, and grants to existing Latina-serving organizations to help encourage a greater engagement in STEM. The project is a collaboration among Twin Cities Public Television, The Self Reliance Foundation of Washington, D.C., and KLCS TV/DT, a PBS member station licensed to the Los Angeles Unified School District. SciGirls stresses the most current research into what strategies most effectively engage girls in STEM activities: extended communication and collaboration; finding real-life contexts for science; promoting open-ended investigations; and placing value on diverse ways of knowing, viewing and describing the world. With a focus on inquiry, SciGirls resources can easily be used by after-school educators, regardless of their science backgrounds, to create successful STEM experiences for girls. Broader Impacts: SciGirls en Español materials will be delivered to after-school programs across the country as well as to the Los Angeles United School District's "Beyond the Bell" initiative, via the district's station, KLCS TV/DT. Project PIs will also distribute copies of the materials to other organizations (NSTA, ASTC, and PBS stations) and make the entire set of resources (streaming videos and Activity Guides) available on DragonflyTV's Web site at www.pbskids.org/dragonflytv. The results of the evaluation will be shared with the informal science education research community and reported at the National AfterSchool Association annual conference and the NSF Joint Annual Meeting.
