GSE/DIF: SciGirls en la Familia

智力优势：SciGirls en la Familia外展项目建立在SciGirls全国传播工作的基础上，该项目将屡获殊荣的PBS Kids科学系列节目DragonflyTV中以女孩为中心的资源交到PBS电台的课外项目负责人、非正式科学教育工作者和外展专业人员手中。SciGirls强调目前的研究，什么策略最有效地让女孩参与STEM活动：扩大沟通和合作;寻找科学的现实生活环境;促进开放式调查;并重视了解，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，3至8年级的5,000多名女孩接受了培训。 对于SciGirls en Español，一个先前的传播努力，双城公共电视台与自力更生基金会（SRF）合作，该基金会是西班牙裔社区非正式科学教育的主要支持者之一。 SciGirls en Español提供西班牙语印刷和视频资源，领导者培训，并向现有的拉丁美洲服务组织提供赠款，以帮助鼓励更多地参与STEM。 随着SciGirls en 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美洲文化中的重要性。因此，这个项目是一个新的传播倡议：家庭中的科学女孩。该项目将为社区教育工作者提供资源和最佳实践培训，不仅让西班牙裔女孩参与STEM，而且让她们的家庭也参与进来。SciGirls en la Familia材料将交付给受助人（全国各地的课后计划），以及SRF？的多样化的合作伙伴网络，包括社区科学研讨会，全国理事会的La Raza和阿斯匹拉。材料也将分发给其他组织（NSTA，ASTC和PBS电台），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.
