Haystack Young Scholars Program -- EARLY ALERT

麻省理工学院将启动一项为期三周的通勤青年学者早期预警计划，该计划将为30名进入7-9年级的学前学生提供科学丰富活动。这个夏季和学年的项目将在干草堆天文台进行，将允许学生参与数学和物理在天文学、地球物理学和大气科学中的应用，包括实验观测和研究射电发射的天文来源；距离、速度和矢量的测量，板块运动数据的分析和地震研究；以及对地球大气、大气变化和人类对环境影响的研究。在接下来的学年计划中，每位参加者将获指派一名教职员导师，每位学生将完成一项个人项目，并在天文台举办的科学展览式活动中展示。

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology will initiate a three- week, commuter Young Scholars Early Alert Initiative project in Mathematics and Physics which will provide science enrichment activities for 30 precollege students entering grades 7-9. This summer and academic year program which takes place at the Haystack Observatory will allow students to participate in applications of mathematics and physics to astronomy, geophysics, and atmospheric science involving experimental observations and studies of astronomical sources of radio emissions; measurements of distances, velocities and vectors, analysis of plate motion data and studies of earthquakes; and investigations of the earth's atmosphere, its variations and man's effects on the environment. In the follow-up academic year program a staff mentor will be assigned to each participant and each student will work on an individual project to be presented at a science-fair style event at the Observatory.
