NSF Young Scholars in Basic Sciences at Louisiana State University

路易斯安那州立大学提出了一个为期七周的暑期项目，在这个项目中，在暑期结束时进入11年级或12年级的学生将：1)参加科学科目的短期课程；2)在学院研究实验室工作；3)参与科学事业、科学方法论和科学伦理的讨论；周末到附近的科学和工业设施进行实地考察。其中6名学生将是通勤者，6名学生将住在校园宿舍。（住宿生将在全国范围内招收。）科学方面的短期课程将在项目前三周的上午进行。教师研究项目的参与将在前三周的下午开始，并在最后四周继续全职。这12名学生将被分配到基础科学学院的6个系：生物化学、植物学、化学、微生物学、物理与天文学、动物学与生理学。学生将被要求开发一个科学项目提交给科学博览会、青少年科学院或青少年科学与人文学术研讨会。后续活动将以报告科学项目的进展为中心（针对所有学生），但也将包括工作人员的课堂访问和周六的更新会议（针对本地学生）。

A seven week summer program at Louisiana State University is proposed in which students entering the eleventh or twelfth grade at the end of the summer will: 1) take short courses on science subjects; 2) work in a faculty research laboratory; 3) participate in discussions on science careers, science methodology and scientific ethics; and 4) take weekend field trips to nearby scientific and industrial facilities. Six of the students will be commuters and six will reside in campus dormitories. (The residential students will be recruited nationwide.) The short courses in science will take place in the mornings of the first three weeks of the program. Participation in faculty research projects will start in the afternoons of the first three weeks, and continue full- time in the final four weeks. The twelve students will be divided among the six departments of the College of Basic Sciences: Biochemistry, Botany, Chemistry, Microbiology, Physics and Astronomy, and Zoology and Physiology. The students will be expected to develop a science project for submission to a science fair, junior academy of science, or Junior Science and Humanities Symposium. Follow-up activities will center around reporting on progress in the science project (for all students), but will also include classroom visits by staff members and a Saturday renewal session (for local students).
