MPWG: The Science of Living Spaces: Women in the Environment of the 21st Century

小行星9453678 该项目的目标，生活空间的科学，是鼓励女孩在科学，工程和数学（SEM），并给他们的知识和信心，考虑SEM作为一种职业选择。 机械主义是一个为期3周的密集夏季课程，其中25个来自农村地区（怀特岛和查尔斯市县）的7年级和8年级女孩在一周内住在CNU。 女孩们将参加生物学，化学，计算机科学，数学，工程和物理学的项目，所有这些项目都与生活空间的主题有关。 几乎没有讲座-女孩们实际上是边做边学：在家里生活，她们将学习电力和建造电路;在社区生活，她们将学习环境和测量温室气体;对于太空生活，他们将参观里士满数学和科学中心，并在模拟控制实验室中进行科学家实验，以及在（模拟）太空中的宇航员。 除了做SEM活动，女孩们将了解自己，并通过场外访问和客座演讲者在科学事业。 在女孩们离开后，将通过电子邮件与她们保持联系，并在下一学年进行两次访问。 ***

9453678 Lambert The goal of the project, Science of Living Spaces, is to encourage girls in science, engineering and mathematics (SEM) and give them the knowledge and confidence to consider SEM as a career choice. The mechasism is an intensive 3 week summer session in which 25 7th and 8th grade girls from rural areas (Isle of Wight and Charles City counties) reside at CNU during the week. The girls will participate in projects in biology, chemistry, computer science, math, engineering, and physics, all of which relate to the theme of living spaces. There will be almost no lecture - - the girls will actually learn by doing: for living in the home, they will study electricity and build circuits; for living in the community, they will study the environment and measure greenhouse gases; and, for living in space, they will visit the Richmond Math and Science Center, and experiment with being scientists in a simulated control lab, as well as being astronauts in (simulated) space. In addition to doing SEM activities, the girls will learn about themselves and about careers in science through off-site visits and through guest speakers. Contact will be maintained with the girls after they leave through email, and with two visits during the next school year. ***
