SSC-9450487 CUNY Research Foundation New York, NY Shapiro, Norman and Carl Berkowitz "Science Summer Camp and Academic Year Follow-Up Program" This proposal for Summer Science Camp builds upon a successful model and is designed to provide 300 (100 each year) academically talented minority 7th and 8th graders with the necessary support and enrichment to successfully pass the entrance examination for the New York City's specialized science high schools (Stuyvesant High School, Bronx High School of Science, Brooklyn Technical High School). This is achieved through a four-week summer preparatory period followed by a one Saturday a month campus program. The four-week summer residential component serves as the foundation for the introduction of the world of science, mathematics and technology. Through the development of a peer network, students are introduced to academic excellence. To reach the project goals, students are introduced to more advanced concepts in science, mathematics and technology. In the summer, students are prepared to take challenging courses at the high school level and are introduced to the skills necessary for the New york City specialized science high school. This project introduces the necessary support systems and familiarizes the students with career opportunities in mathematics, science and engineering. Students are also introduced to the special opportunities of the specialized high schools and other special high school programs. Following the summer component is a City College of New York Academic year on- campus program. This phase will include academic activities, special lectures, sharing time where each student receives the support of peers and mentors. In addition the principal staff will meet with the participating student's school principal and guidance counselor, informing them of the students program participation in order to ensure that the student receives the necessary school support. Meetings will also be held w ith parents on-campus. Students will also be provided with advisement on attending the New York City specialized science high schools and other special high school programs. The project objectives include: 1) increasing the number of minority students that apply into the three New York City specialized science and technology high schools; 2) encouraging highly able youngsters to develop their math, science and verbal skills in order to increase their prospects for admission into New York City special science and technology high schools; 3) strengthening participants positive attitudes toward science, mathematics, and technology subjects; 4) increasing the pool of participants considering careers in science, mathematics and engineering; 5) providing personal, career, academic and financial-aid counseling; and 6) introducing and testing new enrichment curriculum for wider application. The project evaluation will be directed to determine the extent that the project goals and objectives are achieved by the individual participants.

SSC-9450487 纽约市立大学研究基金会纽约州夏皮罗、诺曼和卡尔·伯科维茨“科学夏令营和学年后续计划”这项夏令营提案建立在成功的模式之上，旨在提供 300 名（每年 100 名）具有学术才华的少数族裔七年级和八年级学生，获得必要的支持和充实，以成功通过纽约市专业科学高中的入学考试（史岱文森高中、布朗克斯科学高中、布鲁克林技术高中）。这是通过为期四周的夏季准备期以及每月一个周六的校园课程来实现的。为期四周的夏季住宿部分是介绍科学、数学和技术世界的基础。通过发展同伴网络，向学生介绍卓越的学术成就。为了实现项目目标，向学生介绍科学、数学和技术方面更先进的概念。在夏季，学生准备参加高中水平的具有挑战性的课程，并了解纽约市专业科学高中所需的技能。该项目介绍了必要的支持系统，并使学生熟悉数学、科学和工程领域的职业机会。还向学生介绍特殊高中和其他特殊高中课程的特殊机会。夏季课程之后是纽约城市学院学年的校园课程。这一阶段将包括学术活动、特别讲座、每个学生获得同伴和导师支持的分享时间。此外，校长工作人员还将与参与学生的学校校长和辅导员会面，告知他们学生参与计划的情况，以确保学生获得必要的学校支持。会议还将在校园内与家长举行。还将为学生提供有关就读纽约市专业科学高中和其他特殊高中课程的建议。项目目标包括：1）增加申请进入纽约市三所专业科技高中的少数族裔学生数量； 2) 鼓励高素质青少年发展数学、科学和语言技能，以增加他们进入纽约市特殊科学技术高中的机会； 3）加强参与者对科学、数学和技术科目的积极态度； 4）增加考虑从事科学、数学和工程职业的参与者人数； 5）提供个人、职业、学业和经济援助咨询； 6) 引入和测试新的强化课程以供更广泛的应用。项目评估的目的是确定各个参与者实现项目目的和目的的程度。
