SSC-9450417 Stanislaus County Office of Education Modesto, CA Byrd, Jim and Diggle, Pamela "Project WATER" The Stanislaus County Office of Education (SCOE) will operate a Summer Science Camp (SSC) for 50 minority students from 1994 through 1996. Certificated Science/Math teachers will provide instruction emphasizing the hands-on approach involving student activities and projects. Learning activities will center on the theme of WATER, its multitude of uses and how it impacts our daily lives. Students will be housed in the Outdoor Education Center which is located in the Sierra foothills. This is an area rich in geological examples, fossils, environmental issues, power generating facilities and scientific stimuli. Professional scientists, mathematicians, engineers and individuals from related fields will participate in the instructional program and serve as mentors. They will focus upon the importance of remaining in school, the selection of science and math courses and the choice of careers available if the students pursue the path of learning. Selected students will matched with a control group on the basis of ethnicity, gender, age, and community type (urban, small community, and rural). Comparisons will be made over a five-year span on frequency of dropouts, selection of science and math courses in high school, grades in these courses, attendance, and frequency of attendance in higher education institutions. The results of this study will be disseminated to cooperating school districts, supporting organizations, the National Science Foundation and minority organizations such as the NAACP, the Hispanic Leadership Council, The Asian Coalition, etc. ***

SSC-9450417 斯坦尼斯劳斯县教育办公室 加利福尼亚州莫德斯托 Byrd、Jim 和 Diggle、Pamela “水计划” 斯坦尼斯劳斯县教育办公室 (SCOE) 将从 1994 年到 1996 年为 50 名少数族裔学生举办夏季科学营 (SSC)。科学/数学教师将提供指导，强调涉及学生活动和项目的实践方法。学习活动将以水、其多种用途以及它如何影响我们的日常生活为主题。学生将住在位于塞拉山麓的户外教育中心。该地区拥有丰富的地质实例、化石、环境问题、发电设施和科学刺激。专业科学家、数学家、工程师和相关领域的个人将参与教学计划并担任导师。他们将重点关注留在学校的重要性、科学和数学课程的选择以及学生追求学习道路时可用的职业选择。选定的学生将根据种族、性别、年龄和社区类型（城市、小社区和农村）与对照组进行匹配。将对五年内的辍学频率、高中科学和数学课程的选择、这些课程的成绩、出勤率以及高等教育机构的出勤率进行比较。这项研究的结果将传播给合作学区、支持组织、国家科学基金会和少数族裔组织，如全国有色人种协进会、西班牙裔领导委员会、亚洲联盟等。***
