PGE/SEP: Latinas En Ciencia

这个俄勒冈科学与工业博物馆(OMSI)的项目经验和选择从事科学和技术职业的拉丁裔人数。拉丁裔和西恩西亚的三个主要项目目标是：1.在拉丁裔女孩决定放弃科学和技术职业道路之前，让她们从小参与科学和技术。支持拉美裔女孩从学龄前到高中阶段接触科学技术。为了改变OMSI的内部文化，让博物馆感觉像是拉美裔的家。将采用几种策略来实现这些项目目标。OMSI将在波特兰大都市区周围有大量拉丁裔人口的三个社区创建一个外展计划。该计划旨在招募和支持三至五年级的拉丁裔女孩，帮助女孩在科学技术方面建立能力和创造机会，同时加强女孩的能力，培养女孩的独立性，并在女孩中树立“我可以成功”的态度。每个社区的活动将包括学校聚会、每周一次的科学俱乐部、家庭科学之夜、博物馆的过夜项目和夏令营体验。OSMI将在博物馆内创造一种有利于吸引拉美裔女孩的文化，并在博物馆提供有效的节目和夏令营体验。OMSI将在博物馆内创造一种有利于吸引拉美裔女孩的文化，并通过每月设立拉美裔家庭科学日，利用双语工作人员和志愿者进行口译，在拉丁裔社区和博物馆内建立联系，促进所有年龄段的联系，提供指导机会，并建立拉美裔女孩的领导能力和自信，从而为她们提供有效的方案和机会。在规划补助金期间建立的社区伙伴关系也将得到进一步发展和培育。将对这些不同的战略进行评估，以评估不同方案和不同年龄段的参与程度，并评估拉美裔女孩参与科学和技术活动的情况。还将对特定群体的学术和基于技能的收获进行评估，以便对所采用战略的有效性提供有用的见解。希望确定哪些战略是最有效的，以便进一步了解如何通过非正规科学经验让拉美裔女孩参与科学和技术工作。通过学习如何更有效地向这些不应得的人群介绍科学和技术，非正规科学机构可以帮助拉丁裔女孩发现在科学和技术领域可能走的职业道路，否则可能是不可想象的。

This Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) project experiences and the numbers of Latinas choosing to pursue careers in science and technology.The three primary project goals of Latinas en Ciencia are: 1. To engage Latina girls in science and technology at early age before they've decided against science and technology career pathways.2. To support Latina girls' engagement with science and technology from preschool through high school.3. To change the internal culture at OMSI in order to make the Museum feel like home for the Latinas.Several strategies will be utilized to achieve these project goals. OMSI will create an outreach program in three communities with a large Latino population around the Portland Metropolitan area. Aimed at recruiting and supporting Latina girls in third through fifth grade, this program will help build ability and create opportunities for girls in science and technology, while reinforcing the girls' abilities, fostering independence, and creating an "I can succeed" attitude in the girls. Activities in each community will include school assemblies, a weekly science club, family science nights, overnight programs at the Museum, and summer camp experiences. OSMI will create a culture within the Museum that is conducive to attracting Latina girls and provide effective programs at the Museum, and summer camp experiences. OMSI will create a culture within the Museum that is conducive to attracting Latina girls and provide effective programs and opportunities for them in science and technology by instituting monthly Latino Family Science Days, utilizing bilingual staff and volunteers for interpretation, within the Latino Community and within the Museum will be linked to facilitate connections at all age levels, offering mentoring opportunities and building leadership abilities and self-confidence in the Latina girls. Community partnership established during the Planning Grant will also be further developed and nurtured.These various strategies will be evaluated to assess participation levels in different programs and for different age group and to assess the engagement of the Latina girls in science and technology activities. Academic and skills-based gains will also be evaluated for particular groups to provide useful insight into the effectiveness of the strategies employed. The hope is to determine which strategies are most effective so as to further understanding of how to engage Latina girls in science and technology through nonformal science experiences. By learning how to more effectively introduce this undeserved population to science and technology, nonformal science institutions can help Latina girls discover possible career paths in science and technology that may have otherwise been inconceivable.
