The Pennsylvania State University will initiate a four-week, residential, interdisciplinary Young Scholars project for 72 students entering grades 11 and 12. Eight participants will be placed in on-going research laboratories on projects leading to specific research goals. The laboratory experience will mimic today's real world, research and development as a joint effort and teamwork. There will be three different participating laboratories in each of the Colleges of Agriculture, Earth and Mineral Sciences, and Science. Collaborating engineering faculty and graduate students will participate in each laboratory. To encourage interaction between participants, the composition of the groups for other planned activities will be different from that of the research-team groups and different from each other. These activities include: communication skills, research methodology, envisioning quantitative information, library techniques, research talks, career panels, career mentoring by graduate students, open house at the four colleges involved, science teaching as a career, career counseling, gender issues discussion, science and engineering course requirements and descriptions, the social context of technology, and an all-day research retreat.

宾夕法尼亚州立大学将为 72 名进入 11 年级和 12 年级的学生启动为期 4 周的跨学科住宿青年学者项目。八名参与者将被安置在正在进行的研究实验室中，从事实现具体研究目标的项目。 实验室经验将模仿当今的现实世界，研究和开发需要共同努力和团队合作。 农业学院、地球与矿物科学学院和科学学院各有三个不同的参与实验室。 合作工程教师和研究生将参与每个实验室。 为了鼓励参与者之间的互动，其他计划活动的小组组成将与研究小组的组成不同，并且彼此之间也有所不同。 这些活动包括：沟通技巧、研究方法、设想定量信息、图书馆技术、研究讲座、职业小组、研究生的职业指导、四所相关学院的开放日、科学教学作为职业、职业咨询、性别问题讨论、科学与工程课程的要求和描述、技术的社会背景以及全天的研究静修。
