Instrumentation Update and Outreach - Enhancing Pre-College Science Education

这项为期两年的计划由亚利桑那大学赞助，将为30名优秀的高中化学教师提供为期三周的仪器技术课程，从全国申请者中挑选出来。在暑期项目中，教师将学习科学仪器如何工作，如何使用它们，以及它们演示了哪些化学过程。该项目还支持后续活动，为工具提供部件，为讲习班提供课程材料，并安排工业导师帮助教师举办讲习班。来自大学和参与学校的匹配资金约占NSF补助金的25%。

This two year program, sponsored by the University of Arizona, will offer a three week program in techniques of instrumentation to 30 outstanding high school chemistry teachers selection from a national pool of applicants. In the summer program teachers will learn how scientific instruments work, how they can be used, and what chemical processes they demonstrate. The project also supports follow up activities by providing components for the instruments, by providing curriculum materials for the workshops, and by arranging for industrial mentors to help the teachers conduct the workshops. The matching funds from the university and participating schools amount to about 25% of the NSF grant.
