NSF/Loyola University Young Scholars Program

芝加哥洛约拉大学（Loyola University of Chicago）将启动一项为期六周的通勤多学科青年学者项目，该项目将为18名进入11年级和12年级的学前学生提供科学丰富活动。本课程将强调参与计算机科学、数学和物理方面的研究。跨学科的活动从参与者介绍基本的计算机体系结构开始，之后他们组装ibm兼容的微型计算机。每周，学生们在一位研究物理学家的指导下进行数字电子学、工程学和计算机体系结构的实验。包括以职业为导向的实地考察，包括at&t实验室、摩托罗拉、罗克韦尔国际和通用汽车公司。参与者保留这些电脑，以便在八个月的随访期间使用，该随访包括每月三个星期六上午的课程。

The Loyola University of Chicago will initiate a six-week, commuter, multidisciplinary Young Scholars project which will offer science enrichment activities for 18 precollege students entering grades 11 and 12. This program will emphasize research participation in computer science, mathematics and physics. The interdisciplinary activities begin with participant introduction to basic computer architecture, after which they assemble IBM-compatible microcomputers. Each week the students engage in labs in digital electronics, engineering and computer architecture under the direction of a research physicist. Career-oriented field trips to A.T.& T. Laboratories, Motorola, Rockwell International and General Motors are included. Participants retain the computers for use during the eight-month follow-up which consists of three Saturday morning classes each month.
