Saint Vincent College/National Science Foundation Young Scholars Program

圣文森特学院将启动一个为期三周的青年化学住宿生项目，为24名9年级和10年级的学生提供计算机科学和物理。在暑期课程的第一周，所有参与者将参加关于科学原理的概述报告和实验室会议，三个学科的研究方法和相关的伦理问题。第一周还将包括一个与科学项目相关的数学主题的课程。在第二周和第三周，学生们将分成八个小组；每个小组将在两周的时间里从事环境化学、数字逻辑和计算机接口或电磁频谱物理方面的密集研究项目。这些研究项目的结果将在暑期计划结束时提交给整个青年学者小组。所有参与者的职业探索将包括实地考察、嘉宾演讲和使用圣文森特学院职业发展中心的信息资源。“科学伦理”论坛将是围绕该计划三个学科领域的伦理问题进行研究和讨论的顶峰活动。

Saint Vincent College will initiate a three-week, residential Young Scholars project in Chemistry, Computer Science and Physics for 24 students entering grades 9 and 10. During the first week of the summer program all participants will attend overview presentations and laboratory sessions on scientific principles, research methodology and pertinent ethical issues in the three disciplines. Week 1 will also include a session on mathematics topics related to the science programs. During Weeks 2 and 3 the students will divide into groups of eight; each small group will work on intensive research projects over the two-week period in environmental chemistry, digital logic and computer interfacing, or the physics of the electromagnetic spectrum. Findings from these research projects will be presented to the entire group of Young Scholars at the end of the summer program. Career exploration for all participants will include field trips, guest speakers, and use of the informational resources of the Saint Vincent College Career Development Center. An "Ethics in Science" forum will be the capstone activity for study and discussion of ethical issues surrounding the program's three disciplinary areas.
