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.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）的全部或部分资助的。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）中最少的多样性领域，其中拉丁裔科学家的表现不足。 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（例如气候变化）的能力下降，这对STEM中最少代表的人群不成比例。当我们旨在做出明智的决定以解决本地和全球相关问题时，数据素养与科学家和公众的相关性和重要性越来越大。 DIG CAMP（地球科学的数据：协作和指导计划 - 与地球科学中的Latinx High School和大学生一起进行数据使用）提供了一个基于营地的模型，以支持与地球科学的参与以及数据素养。在此项目中，通过其可持续发展计划，DIG CAMP为拉丁裔高中学生提供了与真实和本地相关的地球科学研究和数据互动的机会；获得地球科学知识；建立他们的数据素养，批判性思维，解决问题和协作技巧；加强他们进行科学的身份；并增加他们从地球科学领域从事学术或工作场所职业的可能性。DigCamp-地球科学数据：合作和指导计划 - 与Latinx高中和大学生进行地理科学的数据使用，将通过开发基于研究的长期存在的障碍物和Bias内部和BIAS内部的研究模型来扩展地球科学的数据使用。该项目的目标是：（1）设计和实施一套完整的非正式学习经验，以通过增加他们的参与，能力建设和在学科连续性的机会来积极招募拉丁高中生进入地球科学； （2）为拉丁语大学的地球科学专业提供了有意义的宣传和心理机会，使他们与社区联系起来，并增加其在地球科学领域的研究和职业领域的保留； （3）支持高中生及其本科精力，以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互动，以提高他们在大学和地球科学工作人员的效率和成功。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子优点和广泛影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被认为是宝贵的支持。
