SSC: Young Engineers & Scientists (Y.E.S.) Summer Science Camp

Y.E.S.暑期科学营是一个为期六周的通勤数学和科学项目，以及一个后续学年的项目。该项目在三年的时间里为257名七年级到九年级的非裔美国人、西班牙裔和美洲原住民学生提供服务。该计划的目标是：1)以与文化相关的方式向学生介绍科学，工程和数学概念；2)教导学生学术课程如何与他们的未来相关；3)向学生展示科学、工程和数学如何与他们周围的世界联系起来；4)帮助父母更好地了解并积极参与孩子的教育。该项目涉及来自当地工业和旧金山州立大学的志愿者科学家和工程师。项目活动包括：科学、计算机科学、数学和通讯课程、嘉宾演讲、实验室演示/实验、实地考察和小组研究项目。在学年期间，学生在他们的学校参加现有的MESA计划。

The Y.E.S. Summer Science Camp is a six week commuter mathematics and science program along with a follow-up academic year program. The program serves two hundred and twenty-five seventh through ninth grade African-American, Hispanic and Native-American students over a three year period. The objectives of the program are to: 1) introduce students to science, engineering and mathematics concepts in a culturally relevant manner; 2) teach students how academic coursework relates to their futures; 3) show students how science, engineering and math relates to the world around them; and 4) help parents become better informed and actively involved in the education of their children. The program involves volunteer scientists and engineers from local industry and San Francisco State University. Program activities include: science, computer science, mathematics and communications courses, guests speakers, laboratory demonstrations/experiments, field trips and group research projects. During the academic year students participate in the existing MESA Program at their school site.
