Horizons Exploration Program -- Years III and IV

位于巴尔的摩县的马里兰大学将启动一个为期六周的多学科青年生物学者项目，化学和物理将为40名进入九年级的学生提供科学丰富的活动。地平线探索计划(HEP)的有才华的参与者(主要来自巴尔的摩市中心)将获得知识，发展技能，了解教育机会，并深入了解这些学科的各种职业。这项工作将通过数学、计算机科学和技术阅读和写作方面的教学加以加强。虽然该计划的目标将通过生物、化学和物理三个主题来实现，但将重点放在生物作为主要学科；这是大多数九年级学生进入城市高中时面临的第一堂科学课。

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County, will initiate a six- week, residential, multidisciplinary Young Scholars project in Biology, Chemistry and Physics which will offer science enrichment activities to 40 students entering grade 9. The talented participants (principally drawn from inner-city Baltimore) in the Horizons Exploration Program (HEP) will acquire knowledge, develop skills, learn about educational opportunities and gain insights into a variety of careers in these disciplines. This work will be augmented by instruction in mathematics, computer science and technical reading and writing. Although the goals of the program will be achieved through the three themes of biology, chemistry and physics, strong emphasis will be placed on biology as the major discipline; this is the first science class that most ninth graders face as they enter the city high schools.
