NSFAYS Math Achievers

NSFAYS底特律地区大学预科工程是一项旨在让120名六年级学生在周六和夏季参加216小时的数学和工程活动的计划。 学生将参加三门课程，因为他们是从六年级到八年级晋升。 来自城市和郊区学区的学生参加NSFAYS DAPCEP计划。 NSFAYS DAPCEP项目的学生人数中95%是非裔美国人、5%拉丁裔和30%女性。 学生参加以下课程：音乐数学，运动数学和机器数学。 通过这些课外活动（即分数到十进制的转换，以及声音创作的数学和科学推导）加强了校本概念。 大约有20名教师在星期六教学生。 教师还在3年内获得360小时的专业发展。 NSFAYS DAPCEP项目是底特律公立学校系统、Southfield公立学校、Diamler Chrysler、福特汽车公司和底特律慈善大学之间的合作。

The NSFAYS Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering is a program designed to engage 120 6th grade students in 216 hours of mathematics and engineering activities on Saturdays and in the summer. Students will participate in three courses as they are promoted from 6th through 8th grade. Students from an urban and suburban school district participate in the NSFAYS DAPCEP program. The student population for the NSFAYS DAPCEP program is 95% African-American, 5% Latino and 30% female. Students participate in the following courses: Mathematics of Music, Mathematics of Motion and Mathematics of Machines. School-based concepts are reinforced via these out of school time activities (i.e. fraction to decimal conversion, and the mathematics and scientific derivations of sound creation). Approximately 20 teachers teach students on Saturdays. Teachers also receive 360 hours of professional development over 3 years. The NSFAYS DAPCEP project is a collaboration between the Detroit Public School system, Southfield Public Schools, Diamler Chrysler, Ford Motor Company and The University of Detroit Mercy.
