EPWG: Integrated SEM Programs for Women: Can we Plug the Pipeline Leaks?

小行星9450017 拟议的项目建立在一个已经成功的方案，为初中女孩提供丰富的经验。 总体目标似乎是通过提供持续的接触、增加接触实践活动和专业榜样，留住那些表示对SEM职业感兴趣并表现出一定能力的女孩。 此外，该项目还建议为这些女孩生活中的重要成年人举办讲习班，以不断扩大能够鼓励这些女孩对SEM职业表示兴趣的个人人才库（家长、组织领导、教师）到SEM职业生涯，并从事他们手中-在科学和数学项目和演示，显示这些科目的乐趣和容易复制在其他情况下。 项目的总体方法和评价计划有其优点，并将作出具体努力，鼓励美洲土著妇女参与。 由于该目标群体的成员在以前的项目中参与最少，因此建议PI联系美国印第安人科学工程学会总部（位于科罗拉多州博尔德），并获得关于将美国土著女孩纳入该项目的最佳方法的建议，以及可以在招聘工作期间带到保留地的认可信 *

9450017 Maki Proposed project builds upon an already successful program which provides enriching experiences for junior high girls. The overall objective appears to be retention of girls who have expressed and interest in and demonstrated some ability in SEM careers by providing on-going contact, increased exposure to hands-on activity and professional role models. In addition, the project proposes to expand the pool of individuals who can encourage the interests these girls express in SEM careers on an on-going basis by conducting workshops for significant adults in the lives of these girls (parents, organization leaders, teachers) to SEM careers and engaging them in hands-on science and math projects and demonstrations which show these subjects as fun and easily replicable in other situations. The overall project approach and the evaluation plan have merit and will make specific attempts to encourage the participation of Native American female participants. As participation of members of this target group have been minimal in previous projects, it is recommended the PI's contact the American Indian Science & engineering Society Headquarters (located in Boulder, CO) and get recommendations on the best approach for including Native American girls in this project and a letter of endorsement which can be taken to the reservation during the recruitment effort ***
