The Science and Math Applied Real-problem Teaching (SMART) project is a collaboration between the core partners Adelphi University, Westbury High School, and the Cradle of Aviation Museum. The goal of the project is to enhance the quality of high school science and mathematics education in high-needs schools in Long Island, New York by (1) jointly developing a museum-based curriculum grounded in inquiry models of instruction and (2) building school capacity for ongoing professional development and build learning communities among math and science teachers. The SMART project pairs high schools with a nearby science museum such that classes will be taught at the museums by teachers from the high school. This partnership enables teachers and students to gain an appreciation for how the material relates to the world around them by providing opportunities for students to make connections between theoretical science and real life experiences. This project is jointly designing a grade 9 integrated physics/math course grounded in local interactive museum contexts, and build a collaborative network amongst teachers, museum educators and university faculty. The program incorporates Physics First, an educational philosophy involving teaching physics at the beginning of the high school curriculum.

科学和数学应用真实问题教学(SMART)项目是核心合作伙伴阿德尔菲大学、韦斯特伯里高中和航空博物馆摇篮之间的合作项目。该项目的目标是通过以下方式提高纽约长岛高需求学校的高中科学和数学教育质量：(1)共同开发以探究性教学模式为基础的博物馆课程，(2)培养学校持续专业发展的能力，并在数学和科学教师中建立学习社区。SMART项目将高中与附近的一家科学博物馆配对，以便由高中的老师在博物馆授课。这种合作关系使教师和学生能够通过为学生提供将理论科学与现实生活经验联系起来的机会，来欣赏这些材料与他们周围的世界的关系。该项目正在共同设计一门基于当地互动博物馆环境的九年级物理/数学综合课程，并在教师、博物馆教育工作者和大学教职员工之间建立一个合作网络。该计划结合了物理优先，这是一种教育理念，涉及在高中课程开始时教授物理。
