SSC: "MESA/Summer Science Camp"

SSC-9450438 Cal State U萨克拉门托萨克拉门托，CA Harold，James “梅萨/科学夏令营” 加州州立大学萨克拉门托梅萨计划建议在1994-96年的夏天，每年为60名学生举办为期6周的通勤夏季科学营充实计划（梅萨/夏季科学营）。 除了在核心学术充实课程（数学，科学和语言艺术）招生，学生将熟悉实验室设施，学习研究方法，参与实验室项目，并与计算机硬件上的各种软件，如CADCAM，Word Perfect和位于劳伦斯利弗莫尔实验室的NASA超级计算网络进行交互。 强调抽象推理和解决问题的能力. 学生也将有各种各样的真实的工作接触，通过工作展示，现场参观，和行业赞助的有意义的动手研究项目。 在学年期间，将有一些后续活动，如星期六科学学院和数学/科学博览会，以确保暑期科学营的参与者继续发展对数学和科学的兴趣，从而朝着科学专业的选择取得进展。 除了该项目的学术核心/研究方法阶段外，为期6周的1994年夏季班将向参加者提供科学调查方法、PSAT考试准备、科学职业介绍和领导才能/公开演讲培训等方面的培训。 参与的学生将从构成国会大厦中心梅萨网络的九个学区的支线初中/中学中选出。 合格/合格的学生将由梅萨暑期科学营的工作人员和梅萨学校网站顾问选择。 申请人的游泳池将参加课程导致大学预科数学和科学课程和/或有潜力的科学/数学教师的建议所示;有兴趣探索科学事业;并渴望参加令人兴奋的动手科学，数学和研究项目。 60名学生将按年级分为两个部分，以促进教学和小组教学的使用，这是通过与梅萨数学/科学教师研究所协调实现的，其日历日期与梅萨/夏季科学营相同。 除了NSF的资助外，工业界、学区和国会大厦中心梅萨大学赞助商、加州大学戴维斯分校工程学院和加州大学萨克拉门托分校工程计算机科学学院也投入了大量资源。 学生参与者的小核心组将通过使用教师参与者在一个德怀特D。艾森豪威尔数学和科学教师培训补助金。

SSC-9450438 Cal State U Sacramento Sacramento, CA Harold, James "MESA/Summer Science Camp" The California State University-Sacramento MESA program proposes to conduct a 6-week commuter Summer Science Camp enrichment program (MESA/Summer Science Camp) for sixty students each year in the summers of 1994-96. In addition to enrollment in core academic enrichment courses (math, science, and language arts), the students will become familiar with laboratory facilities, learn research methodology, participate in laboratory projects, and interact with computer hardware on a variety of software such as CADCAM, Word Perfect, and the NASA Supercomputing Network located at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Abstract reasoning and problen- solving skills will be emphasized. The students will also have a wide variety of real work exposure through job showing, site visits, and industry sponsorship of meaninful hands-on research projects. During the school year there will be a number of follow- up activities, such as Saturday Science Academy and Mathematics/ Science Fairs, to ensure that the Summer Science Camp participants continue to develop an interest in mathematics and science thereby making progress toward a scientific major option. In addition to the academic core/research methodology phase of the project, the 6-week 1994 summer session will provide the participants with training in scientific inquiry methods, PSAT test preparation, introduction to scientific careers, and leadership/public speaking training. Participating students will be selected from feeder junior high/middle schools in the nine school districts comprising the Capitol Center MESA network. Qualified/qualifiable students will be selected by the MESA Summer Science Camp staff and MESA school-site advisors. The pool of applicants will be enrolled in courses leading to college preparatory mathematics and science courses and/or have potential as shown by science/math teachers recommendations; hav e an interest in exploring science careers; and are eager to participate in exciting hands-on science, math, and research projects. The sixty students will be grouped into two sections by grade level to facilitate instruction and use of small group instruction made possible by coordination with a MESA Math/Science Teacher Institute with the same calendar dates as the MESA/Summer Science Camp. In addition to the NSF funding, extensive resources have been committed by industry, school districts, and the Capitol Center MESA university sponsors, the University of California, Davis, College of Engineering and the CSU-Sacramento School of Engineering & Computer Science. The small core-groups of student participants will be made possible by the use of the teacher participants in a Dwight D. Eisenhower Mathematics and Science Teacher Training Grant.
