GeoPATH is a collaboration between the Yale Peabody Museum's after school program EVOLUTIONS and Yale geoscience faculty together with the New Haven Public Schools, the LSAMP program at the University of Connecticut, the Department of Earth Sciences at Southern Connecticut State University, and the Department of Biology & Environmental Science at the University of New Haven. The program has two major goals: (a) To promote interest in and knowledge of the geosciences, science more generally, and related careers; and (b) To create experiences that facilitate students' understanding of the importance of college preparation and their eventual transition to the college environment. GeoPATH provides career and college-focused opportunities in the geosciences for 50 New Haven high school students from traditionally underrepresented communities. Students spend approximately 90 hours over the course of an academic year at the Peabody Museum. The program provides students with exposure to the world of geoscience research, internships, the experience of developing a Museum exhibition that will be seen by thousands of visitors, field trips, opportunities for paid work interpreting geoscience exhibits, and mentoring by successful college students. Students receive academic credit for their participation. Detailed program evaluation include longitutional student tracking. GeoPATH robustly supports several objectives of the NSF GEO Education and Diversity Strategic Plan 2010 -- 2015. Anticipated outcomes for the students include increased understanding of and interest in the geosciences and geoscience careers, improved knowledge to facilitate college preparation, career awareness, and the development of transferable skills.

GeoPATH是耶鲁大学皮博迪博物馆的课后项目EVOLUTIONS和耶鲁大学地球科学系与纽黑文公立学校、康涅狄格大学的LSAMP项目、南康涅狄格州立大学地球科学系和纽黑文大学生物环境科学系的合作项目。该计划有两个主要目标：（一）促进兴趣和地球科学，科学更普遍的知识，和相关的职业;和（B）创造经验，促进学生的大学准备的重要性的理解，并最终过渡到大学环境。GeoPATH为来自传统上代表性不足的社区的50名纽黑文高中生提供了以地球科学为重点的职业和大学机会。学生在皮博迪博物馆度过一个学年的课程大约90小时。该计划为学生提供接触地球科学研究，实习，开发博物馆展览的经验，将被成千上万的游客，实地考察，有偿工作解释地球科学展览的机会，并由成功的大学生指导。学生获得学分为他们的参与。详细的课程评估包括对学生的跟踪。GeoPATH大力支持NSF GEO 2010 - 2015年教育和多样性战略计划的若干目标。学生的预期成果包括增加对地球科学和地球科学职业的理解和兴趣，提高知识以促进大学准备，职业意识和可转移技能的发展。
