Sciences and Mathematics Integrated in Lifelong-Learning Experiences (SMILE); Fall 2006 and Spring 2007; Charleston, SC

科学和数学融入终身学习经历（SMILE）的总体目标是增加机会，并在幼儿园-12，本科生和研究生中灌输残疾学生的信心，以追求科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）职业。 通过合作，东南地区信息交换所（SERCH），低地科学和数学大厅（LHSM）和五个太空资助财团将建立在NASA的投资基础上，为STEM教育工作者的需求服务，这些教育工作者与有特殊需要的学生一起工作。 将于2006年秋季和2007年春季在南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的查尔斯顿学院举行两次会议，为南卡罗来纳州、北卡罗来纳州、弗吉尼亚州、马里兰州和宾夕法尼亚州五个空间赠款联合体的46个成员校园的残疾教师和学生交流想法和可用资源。 这些会议将导致在STEM教育（RAD）的东南/大西洋中部残疾人区域联盟的想法和合作规划的共享。

The overall goal for Sciences and Mathematics Integrated in Lifelong-Learning Experiences (SMILE) is to increase opportunities for, and to instill confidence in kindergarten-12, undergraduate and graduate students with disabilities to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers. In partnership, the Southeast Regional Clearinghouse (SERCH), the Lowcountry Hall of Science and Math (LHSM), and five Space Grant Consortia will build on NASA's investment of serving the needs of STEM educators working with students with special needs. Two meetings will be facilitated at the College of Charleston (COFC), Charleston, South Carolina, in the Fall of 2006 and Spring of 2007 to share ideas and available resources for faculty and students with disabilities on the 46 member campuses of five Space Grant consortia in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. These meetings will result in the sharing of ideas and collaborative planning of a Southeastern/Mid-Atlantic Regional Alliance for Persons with Disabilities in STEM Education (RAD).
