Future Inventors, Researchers, Scientists and Teachers: An Urban Program of Johns Hopkins University and the National Inventors Hall of Fame

约翰霍普金斯大学(JHU)、怀廷工程学院(WSE)和国家发明家名人堂(NIHF)都在研究如何让更多的高中生对科学感兴趣。在这项研究中，有必要了解研究型大学及其企业合作伙伴如何通过简化的研究指导来激励学生考虑他们在STEM的学术和职业选择。在该项目中，由学生、教师和专家导师组成的团队将参与一个城市倡议试点项目，以了解、记录和评估如何为美国各地的其他学校系统创建长期模式。该计划由一组会议组成，这些会议基于科学/技术/工程/数学(STEM)领域的专业人员和相同专业领域的发明家的指导。来自USP网站周围的工程研究中心(ERCs)的参与教师研究经验(RET)计划的现有教师将带着他们的学生参加会议。该项目通过工程研究中心提供了NSF工程和教育主管之间的合作，其中包括RET计划和USP计划中的教师。

The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Whiting School of Engineering (WSE) and the National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF) are interested in investigating ways to get more high school students interested in the sciences. In this research there is a need to know how a research university and its corporate partners motivate students to consider their academic and career options in STEM through an abbreviated research mentoring. In the program teams of students, teachers and expert mentors will participate in an urban initiative pilot to understand, document and assess how to create a long-term model for other school systems across the United States. The program consists of a group of conferences that is based on mentoring by professionals in Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics (STEM) fields and by Inventors in the same areas of expertise. Existing teachers involved in the Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program from the Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) around the USP sites will bring their students to the conferences. The project provides a collaboration between NSF's Engineering and Educational Directorates through the Engineering Research Centers that involves teachers in the RET program and the USP program.
