Summer Science Camps for Seventh and Eight Grades at Jackson State University.

夏季科学营计划旨在恢复学生在早期对自然科学和数学的兴趣。每年，四十八名七年级和八年级的非裔美国学生在杰克逊州立大学（JSU）为期四周的密集暑期课程中接触自然科学，数学，沟通技巧和计算机科学。活动包括课堂教学和实验室演示/实验，涉及个人和团体交流技巧（口头和书面），数学概念的应用和计算机应用的互动。高水平的科学技术学生作为参与者的导师，并在整个学年继续这种联系，并积极协助教师。此外，来自当地工业界和JSU的发言人作为特邀演讲者；学生们到科学博物馆、天文馆和联邦实验室进行实地考察。学生们将参加类似的项目，直到12年级，并将在他们的整个学术生涯中被跟踪。

The Summer Science Camp Program is designed to rejuvenate the student interest in natural science and mathematics at an early age. Annually, forty-eight seventh and eighth grade African-American students are exposed to natural sciences, mathematics, communication skills and computer science in an intensive four-week residential summer session at Jackson State University (JSU). Activities include classroom instruction and laboratory demonstrations/experiments and involve individual as well as group interaction with communication skills (oral and written), applications of mathematical concepts, and computer applications. Upper level science technology students serve as mentors for the participants and continue this contact throughout the academic year as well as actively assist the instructors. In addition, speakers from local industry and JSU serve as invited speakers; students take field trips to science museums, planetariums and federal laboratories. Students will participate in similar programs until grade twelve and will be tracked throughout their academic career.
