Science in the City: A Proposal for Developing Future Scientists

课后项目“城市中的科学：培养未来科学家的建议”建议实施几个有凝聚力的项目，帮助大约120名有风险的学生学习数学和科学。本书的重点不在于单一的科学学科，而是科学在日常活动中的重要性，从艺术和音乐到解决犯罪问题。该项目采用探究的方法来推进活动中的研究部分，并将促进发现和理解，并通过让学生参与这些具有挑战性的STEM体验，挑战他们成为积极的学习者。这些学生将从成绩低于年级水平的低收入少数民族中招收。这一重点解决了学校科学教育的真正挑战，并触及了那些可能不考虑从事科学职业的学生。该项目是教师、学生、非正式科学组织和企业界在发展教育劳动力方面有效学习互动的示范机制。校内经历增强了校外经历。让家长参与这个项目的方法是独特的，将有助于支持该计划的目标。

The after-school project, "Science in the City: A Proposal for Developing Future Scientists" proposes to implement several cohesive programs to assist approximately 120 at-risk students learn mathematics and science. The focus is not on a single scientific discipline, but rather the significance of science in everyday activities ranging from art and music to the solution of crime. The project uses the inquiry approach to advance the research component in the activities and will advance discovery and understanding and challenge students to become active learners by engaging them in these challenging STEM experiences. The students will be recruited from low-income minority populations that are performing below grade level. This focus addresses the real challenge of science education in schools and reaching those students who may not be considering a career in science. The project serves as a model mechanism for effective learning interactions among teachers, students, informal science organizations and the business community in the development of an educational workforce. The in-school experiences augment the out-of-school experiences. The method for involving parents in this project is unique and will assist in supporting the goals of the program.
