This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Atmospheric, climate, ocean, earth and environmental sciences (geosciences) are among the least diverse fields in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), with Latinx scientists being significantly underrepresented. A lack of diversity in STEM fields means decreased ability to identify and solve critical issues facing society such as climate change, which disproportionately affects the populations that are least represented in STEM. Data literacy is gaining increasing relevance and importance to scientists and the general public as we aim to make informed decisions to solve locally and globally relevant problems. DIG CAMP (Data in Geosciences: Collaboration and Mentoring Program—Teaming Latinx High School and College Students for Data Use in Geosciences) offers a camp-based model to support engagement with geosciences, as well as data literacy. During this project and through its sustainability plan, DIG CAMP provides opportunities for Latinx high school students to engage with authentic and locally relevant geosciences research and data; gain geosciences content knowledge; build their data literacy, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration skills; strengthen their identities to do science; and increase the likelihood that they will pursue academic or workplace careers in the geosciences.DIG CAMP - Data in Geosciences: Collaboration and Mentoring Program—Teaming Latinx High School and College Students for Data Use in Geosciences will broaden participation in the geosciences among communities of color by developing a research-based model for overcoming long standing barriers and biases within the field. The goals of this project are to: (1) design and implement a complementary suite of informal learning experiences to actively recruit Latinx high school students into the geosciences by increasing their engagement, capacity building, and opportunities for continuity in the discipline; (2) provide Latinx undergraduate geosciences majors with meaningful outreach and mentoring opportunities that engage them with communities, and increase their retention in geosciences fields of study and careers; and, (3) support high school students and their undergraduate mentors to build science and data literacy skills and engage with locally relevant geosciences research data to increase their efficacy and success in college and the geosciences workforce.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.

该奖项全部或部分由2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。大气，气候，海洋，地球和环境科学（地球科学）是科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）中最不多样化的领域之一，拉丁科学家的代表性明显不足。STEM领域缺乏多样性意味着识别和解决社会面临的关键问题（如气候变化）的能力下降，气候变化对STEM中代表性最低的人口产生了不成比例的影响。数据素养对科学家和公众的相关性和重要性越来越大，因为我们的目标是做出明智的决策，以解决本地和全球相关的问题。DIG CAMP（地球科学中的数据：协作和指导计划-拉丁美洲高中和大学生在地球科学中使用数据）提供了一个基于营地的模型，以支持参与地球科学以及数据素养。在此项目期间，并通过其可持续发展计划，DIG CAMP为拉丁美洲高中学生提供机会，参与真实的和当地相关的地球科学研究和数据;获得地球科学内容知识;建立他们的数据素养，批判性思维，解决问题和协作技能;加强他们的身份做科学;并增加他们在地球科学领域从事学术或工作的可能性。DIG CAMP -地球科学数据：合作和指导计划，拉丁高中和大学生在地球科学中使用数据将通过开发一个研究项目，为克服该领域内长期存在的障碍和偏见，该项目的目标是：（1）设计和实施一套补充的非正式学习经验，积极招募拉丁美洲高中学生进入地球科学，通过增加他们的参与，能力建设，并在学科的连续性的机会;（2）为拉丁美洲大学地球科学专业的本科生提供有意义的外展和指导机会，使他们与社区接触，增加他们在地球科学研究和职业领域的保留率;并且，在本发明中，（三）支持高中生和他们的本科生导师建立科学和数据素养技能，并与当地相关的地球科学研究数据，以提高他们的效率和成功的大学和地球科学劳动力。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已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，认为值得支持。
