International Physics Young Ambassador Symposium

此奖项用于参加2005年12月31日至2006年1月4日在台北举行的2005年国际物理青年大使研讨会的旅费。作为2005年世界物理年(WYP2005)的一部分，来自五大洲至少20个国家的数千名大学预科学生参加了物理人才搜寻活动。人才搜索的主要目标是在年轻人(及其家庭)中激发对物理的热情、兴趣和参与。年龄在10岁到18岁之间的学生参与了许多涉及物理、其应用或其社会界面的活动。大多数活动强调学生的创造力、好奇心和主动性。在大多数国家，一大批志愿物理学家与学生互动，鼓励和评估他们在每个国家的努力。在每个年龄段，排名最靠前的女孩(S)和男孩(S)(人数相等)被选为“2005年国际物理年青年大使”。参加物理人才搜索的每个国家都被邀请确定并派遣六名青年大使(三名女孩和三名男孩)和一名成年领导人参加这次国际科学会议。研讨会的时间安排象征性地“敲响了”2005年WYP2005及其对物理学百年的庆祝。诺贝尔奖获得者和其他具有不同民族、种族和性别特征的顶尖科学家被邀请作为演讲者、励志导师和学生的榜样参加。计划在物理学和教育界以外进行广泛传播。该奖项由数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室、物理和材料研究部门以及国际科学和工程办公室资助。

This award supports travel to the International WYP 2005 Physics Young Ambassador Symposium in Taipei from December 31, 2005 to January 4, 2006. As part of the World Year of Physics 2005 (WYP 2005), thousands of pre-college students in at least 20 countries on five continents participated in the Physics Talent Search. The major goal of the Talent Search is to create enthusiasm, interest, and participation in physics among young people (and their families). Students between the ages of 10 and 18 engaged in numerous activities involving physics, its applications, or its societal interface. Most of the activities emphasize student creativity, curiosity, and initiative. In most countries, a large cadre of volunteer physicists interacted with the students, providing encouragement and evaluating their efforts In each country in each age group, the top girl(s) and boy(s) (in equal numbers) are being selected as "International WYP2005 Physics Young Ambassadors." Each country participating in the Physics Talent Search has been invited to identify and send six Young Ambassadors (three girls and three boys) and one adult leader to participate in this international science conference. The Symposium's timing symbolically "rings out" WYP 2005 and its celebration of a century of physics. Nobel Laureates and other leading scientists with diverse national, racial, and gender demographics are being invited to participate as speakers, inspirational mentors, and role models for the students. Broad dissemination is planned beyond the physics and education communities. This award is funded by the Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Sciences' Office of Multidisciplinary Activities and Divisions of Physics and Materials Research and by the Office of International Science and Engineering.
