Workshop: STEM Outreach, Fostering Interactions between Educators from Local Colleges/Universities and K-12 Schools; April 21 San Diego, CA & April 20 - Boston, MA

知识价值美国生物化学和分子生物学协会的推广活动名为“亲力亲为，促进科学参与”(HOPE)，它将促进和促进生物化学和分子生物学教师与K-12学校的科学教师之间建立伙伴关系。希望项目将为创建和实施实践科学学习活动提供支持。讲习班参与者将有机会会见潜在的合作者，并申请资金，以支持购买供K-12教室使用的材料。研讨会将总结为三个部分，每个部分都有具体的目标。更广泛的影响HOPES倡议始于2011年，产生了44项关于学院/大学教师和K-12教师之间新的或发展中的伙伴关系的建议。此外，讲习班有可能影响许多学生的科学学习，他们可能没有机会体验STEM领域的高质量教学和经验。讲习班的目标受众是K-12科学教室，其中少数族裔学生的比例很高。这些讲习班和种子基金开展的活动将对来自代表性不足群体的学生的科学兴趣产生重大影响。

Intellectual Merit American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology's outreach initiative named Hands-on Outreach to Promote Engagement in Science (HOPES) will promote and facilitate the establishment of partnerships between biochemistry and molecular biology faculty and science teachers from K-12 schools. The HOPES project will provide support for the creation and implementation of hands-on science learning activities. The workshop participants will be provided with the opportunity to meet potential collaborators and apply for funding that will support the purchase of materials for use in the K-12 classrooms. The workshop will be summarized into three parts, with each one having a specific goal. Broader ImpactsHOPES initiative began in 2011 and resulted in 44 proposals of new or developing partnerships between college/university faculty and K-12 teachers. In addition, the workshops have the potential to impact science learning for many students who may not have the opportunity to experience quality instruction and experiences in STEM fields. The workshop's target audience is K-12 science classrooms with a high percentage of underrepresented minority students. The activities that develop from these workshops and seed grants will have a significant impact on science interest of students from underrepresented groups.
