Description of the Project:Funding for the construction of the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) near the summit of Haleakala on Maui, Hawaii began in FY 2010. Since it is funded with Federal funds, ATST construction is a Federal undertaking that must comply with a number of environmental and historic preservation statutes. The impacts of the ATST construction on the environmental, historical, and cultural assets atop Haleakala were the subject of a nearly five-year study that culminated in a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that was completed in August 2009. Since the summit of Haleakala is a ?traditional cultural place? that has cultural and spiritual significance to native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, the FEIS stipulates that the construction of the ATST will have impacts on the spiritual and cultural assets there. A number of mitigation activities designed to minimize or mitigate such impacts are described in the compliance documents and are memorialized in the Record of Decision signed by former NSF Director, Arden L. Bement, Jr. in December 2009. One of these designed to mitigate the direct, major, adverse, and long-term impacts to the summit as a TCP is through education and workforce development. This award provides funding for a ten-year program at the University of Hawaii Maui College that will address the intersection between traditional Native Hawaiian culture and science.This program will employ STEM educational strategies informed by traditional Native Hawaiian approaches to learning. AIK will create a ?pipeline? of Native Hawaiian STEM students from Maui County secondary schools by identifying and preparing students early in their education, with the support of secondary school math and science teachers and staff. The plan includes development of STEM curricula in the Hawaiian language, STEM faculty development at both secondary and postsecondary levels, and also seeks to engage parents, families, prospective employers, and community members, as well as various Native Hawaiian student networks, through a variety of community partner programs.Broader Impacts and ImportanceBy integrating science with Native Hawaiian culture, this plan offers an innovative design for helping native peoples access 21st century economic opportunities. This plan also seeks to demonstrate to the Native Hawaiian and broader community that there exists space within the STEM community for native knowledge, experiences, and ways of learning to make significant contribution. Programs that are developed in this plan will benefit both Native Hawaiian and other Maui County and UHMC students. Finally, the complex social and environmental issues that confront the Hawaiian Islands require that the next generation of leaders be conversant in both science and culture. This plan addresses this need, by bringing together existing STEM scientific, Native Hawaiian cultural, and secondary and post-secondary educational resources to create a cohort of future leaders from an underserved population.

项目简介：在夏威夷毛伊岛哈雷卡拉山顶附近建造先进技术太阳望远镜(ATST)的资金于2010财年开始。由于它是由联邦基金资助的，ATST的建设是一项联邦承诺，必须遵守许多环境和历史保护法规。建造ATST对哈利阿卡拉顶部的环境、历史和文化资产的影响是一项近五年研究的主题，最终于2009年8月完成了最后的环境影响报告书。既然哈雷卡拉山顶是一个传统的文化场所？这对夏威夷土著居民和其他太平洋岛民具有文化和精神意义，但FEIS规定，ATST的建设将对那里的精神和文化资产产生影响。合规文件中描述了一些旨在最大限度地减少或减轻此类影响的缓解活动，并在前NSF主任小Arden L.Bement，Jr.签署的决定记录中进行了纪念。2009年12月。其中之一是通过教育和劳动力发展来减轻对峰会的直接、重大、不利和长期的影响。该奖项为夏威夷大学毛伊岛学院的一个为期十年的项目提供资金，该项目将解决夏威夷传统土著文化与科学之间的交集。该项目将采用受到传统夏威夷土著学习方法启发的STEM教育策略。AIK将创建一条？管道？在中学数学和科学教师和教职员工的支持下，通过在教育早期识别学生并使其做好准备，对毛伊县中学的夏威夷原住民STEM学生进行了培训。该计划包括开发夏威夷语言的STEM课程，中学和高等教育水平的STEM教师发展，并寻求通过各种社区合作伙伴计划吸引家长、家庭、潜在雇主和社区成员以及各种夏威夷原住民学生网络。广泛的影响和重要性通过将科学与夏威夷原住民文化相结合，该计划提供了一种创新的设计，帮助原住民获得21世纪的经济机会。该计划还试图向夏威夷原住民和更广泛的社区表明，STEM社区内存在着原住民知识、经验和学习方法的空间，以做出重大贡献。该计划中制定的计划将使夏威夷原住民和其他毛伊县和UHMC的学生受益。最后，夏威夷群岛面临的复杂社会和环境问题要求下一代领导人精通科学和文化。该计划满足了这一需求，将现有的STEM科学、夏威夷原住民文化以及中学和高等教育资源结合在一起，从服务不足的人口中培养出一批未来的领导者。
