Akamai Mentor Conference

本次会议将汇集过去和现在的导师成功的本科生Akamai实习计划在夏威夷。Akamai实习计划支持夏威夷的本科生研究项目，以增加当地夏威夷人对科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域的参与。在会议上，大约50名由导师和感兴趣的同事组成的与会者将总结多年来指导学生的经验和实践，并传播一种指导模式，该模式以实习生所做的项目为重点，作为提供STEM生产经验的基石。这次会议将产生实用的指导工具，供天文学团体使用。这些工具将促进关于学习、公平、包容和坚持的研究的转化。参与者将强调他们如何利用STEM持久性和包容性教育的文献来为他们的实习生设计一个项目。会议将产生可以传播给一般天文学界的产品。这些工具将通过Akamai网站、演示文稿和Akamai广泛的网络提供。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This conference will bring together past and present mentors of the successful undergraduate Akamai Internship Program in Hawai'i. The Akamai Internship Program has supported undergraduate research projects in Hawai'i to increase participation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields by local Hawai'ians. At the conference, approximately 50 attendees consisting of mentors and interested colleagues will distill years of experience and practice of mentoring students and disseminate a model for mentoring that focuses on the project an intern does as a cornerstone for providing a productive experience in STEM.The conference will produce practical mentoring tools that can be used by the astronomy community. These tools will advance the translation of research on learning, equity, inclusion, and persistence. Participants will highlight the ways that they use the literature on STEM persistence and inclusive education to design a project for their intern. The conference will generate products that can be disseminated to the general astronomy community. The tools will be available through the Akamai website, presentations, and Akamai's extensive network.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
