American Indians Young Scholars Program -- EARLY ALERT

科罗拉多矿业学院将开始为期三周的住宿，为30名进入7年级和8年级的美国印第安人中学生而设的数学“早期警觉”青年学者项目。该项目将与一个由机构资金赞助的教师培训项目。重点是批判性思维，解决问题，使用类似的三角形和三角来估计学生建造的火箭达到的高度，以及使用标志来创造美国印第安人的设计和镶嵌。学生在AT&T贝尔实验室的专业导师的建议下完成一个研究项目。职业探索和高等教育目标是该计划不可或缺的一部分。

The Colorado School of Mines will initiate a three-week, residential, "Early Alert" Young Scholars project in Mathematics for thirty American Indian middle school students entering grades 7 and 8. The program will be held jointly with a Teacher Enhancement project that is sponsored with institutional funds. Emphasis is on critical thinking, problem solving, use of similar triangles and trigonometry to estimate heights attained by student-constructed rockets, and use of LOGO to create American Indian designs and tessellations. Students complete a research project with the advice of a professional mentor from AT&T Bell Laboratories. Career exploration and higher educational goals are an integral part of the program.
