9628426 Hirshon The AAAS is developing and testing a pilot phase of an on-line website science club for youth. Kinetic City Cyberclub will engage youth in episodic adventures to promote both group and independent exploration. Users will receive carefully crafted, paced challenges as they wind their way through a mystery or other related activity. The adventures will be presented over time in a series of episodes that require users to use science toward solving an on-going mystery or problem. Components of the on-line club will include: Story Pods which set up the problem and inform users of what has been learned to date; Clue Pods which include information and activities that users can add to their individual electronic notebooks; Experiment Pods where users will be able to try out different theories to solve immediate problems; Discussion Pods where questions will be posed to which users are encourage to respond; and a Voting Pods where users get to vote on the next direction the science exploration should take or on possible solutions to problems. Components of the web page will be updated on a regular basis with most of the content being changed weekly and, in some instances, daily. The PI will be Robert Hirshon of the AAAS who has been the key developer of The Kinetic City Super Crew, the radio series on which the Kinetic City Cyberclub is based. The Senior Producer responsible for developing and maintaining the website will be Kimberly Amaral. Ms. Amaral previously been a writer/web developer for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's Coastal Research Center and Sea Grant and she has worked as a researcher/writer for Bill Nye the Science Guy. Dissemination and outreach will be a joint effort of the AAAS and the National Science Teachers Association. Evaluation will be conducted by Arthur C. Johnson, an independent evaluator and instructor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

9628426 HIRSHON AAAS正在开发和测试青年网站科学俱乐部的试点阶段。 Kinetic City Cyber​​club将与年轻人参与情节冒险，以促进团体和独立探索。 用户将在神秘或其他相关活动中蜿蜒而努力时，会收到精心制作的节奏挑战。 随着时间的推移，将在一系列情节中展示冒险，这些情节需要用户使用科学来解决持续的谜团或问题。 在线俱乐部的组成部分将包括：故事吊舱，这些豆荚设置了问题并告知用户迄今为止所学的东西； 线索吊舱，其中包括用户可以添加到单个电子笔记本的信息和活动； 实验用户将能够尝试不同理论以解决直接问题的豆荚；讨论豆荚将提出提出建议的用户回应的问题；以及用户可以在科学探索应采取的下一个方向或可能解决问题的解决方向上投票的投票吊舱。 网页的组件将定期更新，大多数内容每周更改，在某些情况下每天更改。 PI将是AAAS的Robert Hirshon，他一直是动力学城市超级船员的主要开发商，这是动力学城市Cyber​​club所在的广播系列。 负责开发和维护该网站的高级生产商将是金伯利·阿马拉尔（Kimberly Amaral）。 Amaral女士以前曾是Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution沿海研究中心和Sea Grant的作家/网络开发人员，她曾担任科学家比尔·奈（Bill Nye）的研究员/作家。 传播和宣传将是AAA和国家科学教师协会的共同努力。 评估将由哈佛大学教育研究生院的独立评估员兼讲师Arthur C. Johnson进行。
