This collaboration between SDSM&T and the Oglala Lakota College (OLC) campuses seeks to establish new opportunities for Native American students in South Dakota to become involved with geoscience education through participation in the High Plains Regional Science and Engineering Fair, which is affiliated with the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) and held at SDSM&T. This planning grant project is working to achieve these objectives: 1) expose Native American students and members of their extended families to geosciences through preparation of science fair projects; 2) initiate mentoring experience for the Native American students on the SDSM&T and OLC campuses in the preparation of the science fair projects; 3) create a model for collaboration between Area School Districts and higher education for South Dakota through the OLC/ SDSM&T partnership that can be replicated throughout the Dakotas; 4) team faculty members and researchers at SDSM&T with science faculty members and liaisons from OLC to offer cross-institutional mentoring and guidance for middle/high school students; 5) encourage faculty members and researchers to take Lakota culture and language classes at the Rapid City Native culture classes to enhance their understanding of cultural differences; and 6) raise awareness and improve access for Native Americans to geoscience education. The planning grant proposal is focused on establishing the collaborations between SDSM&T, OLC, and the Area School Districts of Rapid City, Black Hills and Pine Ridge Reservation and addressing the very small participation of Native American students in this region in science fair opportunities.

SDSM T和Oglala Lakota学院（OLC）校园之间的合作旨在为南达科他州的美国原住民学生提供新的机会，通过参加高平原地区科学与工程博览会参与地球科学教育，该博览会隶属于英特尔国际科学与工程博览会（ISEF）并在SDSM T举行。 该规划补助金项目致力于实现这些目标：1）通过准备科学博览会项目，使美洲原住民学生及其大家庭成员接触地球科学; 2）在SDSM T和OLC校园内为美洲原住民学生提供指导经验&，以准备科学博览会项目; 3）通过OLC/ SDSM T伙伴关系，为南达科他州地区学区和高等教育之间的合作创造一个模式&，该伙伴关系可以在整个达科他州复制; 4）SDSM T的团队教师和研究人员&与科学教师和OLC的联络员一起为中等/中等教育提供跨机构的指导和指导。该项目的目标是：（1）帮助高中生学习拉科塔语;（2）鼓励教职员工和研究人员在拉皮德城拉皮德城土著文化课程中学习拉科塔文化和语言课程，以增强他们对文化差异的理解;（3）提高认识，改善美洲土著人接受地球科学教育的机会。规划补助金提案的重点是建立SDSM T，OLC和拉皮德城，黑山和松树岭保留区的地区学区之间的合作，并解决美洲原住民学生在科学公平的机会在这个地区的参与非常少。
