该项目是迈阿密科学博物馆和大迈阿密大兄弟大姐妹（BBBS）的合作项目，旨在使单亲家庭能够积极参与孩子的科学、数学和技术教育（SMT）。在整个项目过程中，它将涉及父母、导师和社区元素，以创建和扩大资源网络，并主要支持父亲缺席的家庭。该项目的设计重点是提供对幼儿在SMT教育中取得成功至关重要的资源和宣传。这是一个旨在让父母积极参与孩子的科学、数学和技术教育的项目。该项目将为佛罗里达州戴德县的家庭提供服务。博物馆工作人员和BBBS的志愿者将密切合作，编写指导材料，向全国分发。使用和改进的策略将被打包在Tripod工具包和导师手册中，其他社区团体可以使用该手册来帮助和协助父母更加积极地参与孩子的科学、数学和技术教育。除了教材外，还将包括一套科学/数学问题活动，旨在促进父母和孩子在家中学习科学。这些材料将以英语和西班牙语制作，以满足多样化和多元文化的美国社会的需要。

9802027 Brown This project is a collaboration between the Miami Museum of Science and the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Greater Miami (BBBS) to empower single-parent families to become actively engaged in the science, mathematics, and technology education (SMT) of their children. It will involve, over the course of the project, parents, mentors, and community elements to create and expand a resource network and support primarily father-absent homes. The design of the project is focused on providing resources and advocacy critical to the success of young children in SMT education. It is a project designed to get parents actively involved with their children's science, mathematics, and technology education. The program will serve Dade County, Florida families. Museum staff and volunteers of BBBS will work closely in the development of mentor materials to be nationally distributed. The strategies that are used and refined will be packaged in a Tripod Toolkit and Mentor Handbook that can be used by other community groups to aid and assist parents in becoming more active in the science, mathematics, and technology education of their children. In addition to the toolkit materials, a set of Science/math Matters activities will be included designed to promoted science learning in the home with parents and their children. These materials will be produced in both English and Spanish to meet the needs of a diverse and multicultural American society.
