Whitney M. Young Scholars in Science (WYSci)

路易斯维尔科学中心与林肯基金会合作，计划：(1)将WYSci作为Whitney M. Young Scholars Program的一部分继续开展下去；(2)将该项目扩展到为期一周的暑期项目中，增加35个小时的教学时间；(3)扩大让家长和其他看护人参与的机会；(4)提供重要的评估数据。评估部分将用于确定项目对参与的学生和家长的影响，并告知其他人哪些因素对于融合非正式和正式的科学教育是重要的。该项目旨在对七年级学生的学习产生积极影响，这些学生在学术上有天赋，但在社会经济上处于劣势。在三年的时间里，150名学生将接受工作人员50多个小时的指导。

The Louisville Science Center in collaboration with The Lincoln Foundation plans to: (1) establish WYSci's continuance as part of the Whitney M. Young Scholars Program, (2) extend the program to include 35 additional hours of instruction in a week-long summer program, (3) expand opportunities to involve parents and other caregivers, and (4) provide significant evaluation data. The evaluation component would be used to determine the program's effect on participating students and parents and to inform others as to what factors are important for melding informal and formal science education. The program is designed to positively affect the learning of young people in the seventh grade who are academically talented, but socio-economically disadvantaged. Over the three-year period, 150 students will receive over 50 hours of instruction by the staff.
