National Science Foundation Young Scholars In Astronomy and Space Science

位于巴吞鲁日的路易斯安那州立大学将启动为期六周的面向24名11年级学生的天文学和空间科学住宿青年学者项目。参与者将通过沉浸在12名高级工作人员的研究活动中学习科学研究的哲学和方法论。物理和天文学系以及基础科学学院物理科学系的其他教员。此外，在项目期间，所有学生都将参加由路易斯安那州立大学和路易斯安那州其他学院和大学的科学系高级工作人员领导的研讨会，他们将介绍各自专业领域的主题。这些研讨会将使学者了解空间研究的性质和令人兴奋之处，并将其应用于其他学科，如计算机和信息科学、地球物理和环境科学。

The Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge will initiate a six- week, residential Young Scholars project in Astronomy and Space Science for 24 students entering grade 11. Participants will learn the philosophy and methodology of science research by immersion into the research activity of a senior staff of twelve members of the Department of Physics and Astronomy and other faculty in the physical science departments of the College of Basic Sciences. In addition, all students will participate for the duration of the program in seminars led by the senior staff at LSU and science departments in the other colleges and universities in Louisiana who will present topics in their areas of specialization. These seminars will expose the scholars to the nature and excitement of space research and its application to additional disciplines such as computer and information science, geophysics and the environmental sciences.
