Form 7 ABSTRACT ESI-9453694 PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Ms Abbie Willetto INSTITUTION: The University of Colorado, Boulder TITLE: Conference on the Cultural Needs of and Strategies for Educating American Indian Precollege Students in Science, Mathematics, and Technology This project is for a conference to be held over three days and three nights to explore cultural concerns and issues which prevent Native American children from fully participating in science and mathematics. PI's from current NSF funded projects who have significant Native American population will be invited to attend. ( about 30) In addition there will be another 16 Native Americans who have special expertise in this subject who will be participant leaders. The conference will generate guidelines to address cultural needs of Native Americans.
