MPWG: Young Women in Science: Intergenerational Partnership in Science, Engineering and Mathematics

9553426哈默里奇拟议的项目旨在提高60名四年级、非裔美国人、亚洲人和西班牙裔女性对科学、工程和数学(SEM)的兴趣，并加强费城两所小学的科学和数学课程。该项目汇集了女小学生，从SEM退休的女性，以及本科科学教育和数学教育的女性学生，从事密集的实验环境项目。这种多代人的方法使小学女孩能够利用数学概念在科学层面上调查和探索城市环境问题。通过与退休的科学家、工程师和教育工作者以及有志于成为科学和数学教育工作者的本科生的接触，该项目向四年级女孩介绍了SEM的就业机会，并有效地扩大了她们对数学和科学的兴趣、热情和概念。拟议的项目代表了坦普尔大学、费城学区和地区化学公司之间的合作努力。参与者来自：(A)儿童小学和邓巴学校的四年级学生和教师；(B)地区化学公司(包括ARCO化学公司)、费城学区和坦普尔大学的退休人员；以及(C)坦普尔大学教育学院的科学和数学教育学生。该项目旨在对两所目标小学进行密集干预，以展示多代人的方法在加强小学科学和数学课程方面的有效性。这一示范项目可以在其他学区复制。项目活动包括三个部分：课堂活动、课外活动和暑期项目--城市河流探索。该项目将由天普大学教育学院协调。***

9553426 Hammerich The proposed project is designed to increase interest in science, engineering and mathematics (SEM) among 60 fourth-grade, African American, Asian, and Hispanic females and to enhance the science and mathematics curriculum at two Philadelphia elementary schools. This project brings together female elementary students, women who are retired from careers in SEM, and female undergraduate science education and math education students to engage in intensive experimental environmental projects. This multi-generational approach enables elementary school girls to investigate and explore urban environmental issues on a scientific level utilizing mathematical concepts. Through their involvement with retired scientists, engineers and educators, as well as undergraduate students aspiring to be science and math educators, the project introduces fourth-grade girls to career opportunities in SEM and effectively expands their interest, enthusiasm, and concepts of math and science. The proposed project represents a collaborative effort between Temple University, the School District of Philadelphia, and area chemical companies. Participants are drawn from: (a) fourth- grade students and teachers at Childs Elementary and Dunbar Schools; (b) retirees from area chemical companies (including ARCO Chemical Company), the School District of Philadelphia and Temple University; and (c) science and math education students of the College of Education at Temple University. The project is designed as an intensive intervention at two targeted elementary schools, to demonstrate the effectiveness of a multi-generational approach to enhancing the science and mathematics curriculum at the elementary level. This model project can be replicated in other school districts. The project activities include three components: classroom activities; after-school activities; summer program--City Rivers Exploration. The project is to be coordinated by The College of Education at Temple Uni versity. ***
