Project COOL: Chemical Oceanography Outside the Lab brings together geoscientists, undergraduate students and middle school youth. The program begins with professional development and curriculum design workshops for geoscientists who teach (e.g. professors, postdocs). Then a course at the University of Washington is offered to geoscience majors at both the undergraduate and graduate level through the UW's "Pipeline Project". Finally, participants opt into participating in an Out of School Time (OST) Program run through Seattle Parks and Recreation and the Seattle Public School District. Project COOL OST is offered at multiple Seattle area middle schools and will engage underrepresented youth in authentic scientific research through collaboration with SoundCitizen (http://soundcitizen.org), a university-housed citizen science collective that fosters public involvement in geosciences research. This project will: a) create a scientifically-grounded lab and field research experience for middle school youth at a time when data shows they are consciously and unconsciously making decisions about the role of STEM science in their futures; b) scientifically investigate identity development, learning practices and engagement for both the middle school youth and the undergraduate student scientists that participate together in scientific research; and, c) produce high quality data and information that will be used by the aquatic chemists leading the teams to further research and educational missions. This project is driven by two objectives; a need to provide geosciences opportunities and mentoring for scientists and students at different career and educational stages (specifically professors, undergraduate students and middle school youth), and a need to develop measurement models and methods that can be used across programs to further understand how youth learn from place-based programs.

Project Cool：实验室外的化学海洋学将地球科学家，本科生和中学青年汇集在一起​​。 该计划始于教学的地球科学家的专业发展和课程设计研讨会（例如教授，博士后）。 然后，华盛顿大学通过UW的“管道项目”提供了在本科和研究生层面的地球科学专业的课程。 最后，参与者选择参加通过西雅图公园和娱乐和西雅图公立学区进行的一个户外时间（OST）计划。 Project Cool OST在西雅图地区的多个中学提供，将通过与Soundcitizen（http://soundcitizen.org）合作参与真实的科学研究，这是一家大学蜂拥而至的公民科学集体，该集体培养了地球科学研究的公共参与。 该项目将：a）在数据表明他们有意识和无意识地决定STEM科学在未来中的作用时，为中学青年创建了一个科学的实验室和现场研究经验； b）科学研究中学青年和本科生科学家的身份发展，学习实践和参与度；并且，c）生成高质量的数据和信息，水上化学家将使用该团队进一步研究和教育任务。 该项目由两个目标驱动。需要在不同的职业和教育阶段（特别是教授，本科生和中学青年）为科学家和学生提供地球科学机会和指导，并需要开发可以在各个计划中使用的测量模型和方法，以进一步了解青年如何从基于地点的计划中学习。
