MPWG: Supporting Girls in Science Endeavors

9353803 Lobos支持女孩参与科学活动将联系学校和社区团体，鼓励小学高年级和初中女生及其家庭积极参与科学活动。位于底特律北部的科学博物馆克兰布鲁克科学研究所（Cranbrook Institute of Science）将成为这一努力的催化剂，它将汇集超过75名已经被公认为关注科学问题的专业人士和协会。该博物馆将发起这一合作努力，预计将为800多名女孩提供持续的科学节目。在为期一年的努力中，将包括四项具体任务：1)由直接动手的科学活动组成的女童科学计划；2)由以家庭为中心的活动组成的家长支持活动，包括研讨会和时事通讯；3)对女童科学感兴趣的组织领导人的会议；4)科学计划负责人和教师的网络。这一努力的结果预计将是一个由成年领导人和家长组成的专职队伍，他们可以明智地鼓励女孩学习科学，800多名女孩的积极经历和新的接触将保持她们对科学的兴趣。＊＊＊

9353803 Lobos Supporting Girls in Science Endeavors will link school and community groups to encourage upper elementary and middle school girls and their families in active science pursuits. Cranbrook Institute of Science, a science museum north of Detroit, will be the catalyst for this effort which will bring together more than 75 professionals and associations already recognized for their focus on science issues. The museum will initiate this collaborative effort which is expected to reach more than 800 girls with sustained science programming. Four specific tasks will be included in the year-long effort: 1) Science Programs for Girls consisting of direct hands-on science activities, 2) Parent Support Activities comprised of family centered events, including seminars and a newsletter, 3) a conference for leaders of organizations interested in science for girls and 4) a Network for science program leaders and teachers. The result of this effort is expected to be a dedicated corps of adult leaders and parents who can knowledgeably encourage girls in science, and more than 800 girls whose positive experiences and new contacts will sustain their interests in science. ***
