GSE/DIF: SciGirls en la Familia

智力优势：《家庭中的科学女孩》推广项目建立在《科学女孩》全国推广工作的基础上，该项目将获奖的PBS儿童科学系列《DragonflyTV》中以女孩为中心的资源提供给PBS电视台的课后项目负责人、非正式科学教育者和推广专业人员。SciGirls强调了目前关于哪些策略最有效地吸引女孩参与STEM活动的研究：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。更广泛的影响：在过去三年的SciGirls项目中，100多名教育工作者和社区领袖接受了培训，覆盖了3至8年级的5000多名女孩。在之前的传播项目SciGirls Español中，双城公共电视台与自力更生基金会（SRF）合作，后者是拉美裔社区非正式科学教育的主要支持者之一。SciGirls en Español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。随着scigirsen Español项目的发展，一个主题被反复强调：家庭和父母指导在拉丁文化中的重要性。因此，这个项目是一个新的传播倡议：家庭女孩。该项目将为社区教育工作者提供最佳实践方面的资源和培训，不仅让西班牙裔女孩参与STEM，也让她们的家人参与。“家庭女孩”项目的材料将分发给受资助者（全国各地的课后项目），以及SRF？美国的多元化合作伙伴网络，包括社区科学研讨会、拉美裔全国委员会和Aspira。材料也将分发给其他组织（NSTA、ASTC和PBS电视台），并在DragonflyTV的网站www.pbskids.org/dragonflytv上提供。

Intellectual Merit: The SciGirls en la Familia outreach project builds on the SciGirls national diffusion effort that puts girl-focused resources from the award-winning PBS Kids science series DragonflyTV into the hands of afterschool program leaders, informal science educators, and outreach professionals at PBS stations. SciGirls stresses 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. Broader Impacts: In the past three years of SciGirls programming, over 100 educators and community leaders have been trained reaching over 5,000 girls in grades 3 through 8. For SciGirls en Español, a prior diffusion effort, Twin Cities Public TV partnered with the Self Reliance Foundation (SRF), one of the leading supporters of informal science education in Hispanic communities. SciGirls en Español provides Spanish-language print and video resources, leader training, and grants to existing Latina-serving organizations to help encourage a greater engagement in STEM. As the SciGirls en Español project developed, one theme was repeatedly emphasized: the importance of family and parental guidance in Latino culture. As a result, this project is a new diffusion initiative: SciGirls en la Familia. This project will provide community educators with resources and training in best practices to engage not only Hispanic girls in STEM, but their families as well.SciGirls en la Familia materials will be delivered to grantees (after-school programs across the country), as well as SRF?s diverse partner network, including Community Science Workshops, National Council of La Raza, and Aspira. Materials will also be distributed to other organizations (NSTA, ASTC, and PBS stations) and made available on DragonflyTV's Web site at www.pbskids.org/dragonflytv.
