"Community Science Workshops: Beginning a National Movement" is an extension of a successful, NSF-funded project that created a network of community science centers in California. Green Mountain College has now taken this successful venture to a national level by working with partner organizations throughout the country to establish new Community Science Workshops (CSWs) in underserved communities. Once sites are selected, CSW directors participate in an intensive two-week training program. This is followed by visits by site mentors, annual meetings, and ongoing support through the Internet and other media, which contributes to the establishment and eventual sustainability of the centers. Each site partners with local, established museums, science centers and community-based nonprofit organizations to gain much needed assistance with exhibits and education programs. Community Science Workshops contain permanent exhibit space, a workshop area for student projects and classroom/storage space. They serve a variety of audiences through after school, family, school and summer science programs. National CSW locations include Miami, Houston, New Orleans, Boston, and Washington, D.C. A CSW program is also in development in Biloxi, MS. "

“社区科学研讨会：开始一场全国运动”是一个成功的、由美国国家科学基金会资助的项目的延伸，该项目在加州创建了一个社区科学中心网络。绿山学院现在通过与全国各地的伙伴组织合作，在服务不足的社区建立新的社区科学讲习班（CSWs），将这一成功的冒险推向了全国。一旦选定地点，CSW主任将参加为期两周的强化培训计划。随后是现场导师的访问、年度会议以及通过互联网和其他媒体的持续支持，这些都有助于中心的建立和最终的可持续性。每个站点都与当地的知名博物馆、科学中心和以社区为基础的非营利组织合作，在展览和教育项目方面获得急需的援助。社区科学工作坊包含永久展览空间、学生项目的工作区和教室/存储空间。他们通过课后、家庭、学校和暑期科学项目为各种各样的观众服务。全国的CSW地点包括迈阿密、休斯顿、新奥尔良、波士顿和华盛顿特区。一个CSW项目也在密西西比州的比洛克西发展。”
