The Wayne State University Math Corps is a mathematics enrichment and mentoring program that operates during summers and on Saturdays. The curriculum and the teach pedagogies in this informal learning program have documented success of supporting youths' mathematics learning as well as raising achievement levels in school. Through rigorous research and evaluation, this project seeks to analyze and understand the nature, extent, and reasons for Math Corps' success with youth learning in Detroit as well as the processes of program replication in three sites: Cleveland, OH; Utica, NY; and Philadelphia, PA. As such, this project will deepen understandings of program replication and of addressing the needs of youth in economically-challenged communities in order to promote mathematics learning.The project's research studies will assess the multiple factors that make Math Corps successful with youth in Detroit and document the implementation of the program to the three replication sites. Research methods include discourse analyses, surveys, interviews, and pre/post-tests. The project will also conduct a retrospective evaluation of Math Corps based on quantitative datasets regarding both near-term and long-term youth outcomes.This projects is funded by the Advancing Informal STEM Learning program, which seeks to advance new approaches to, and evidence-based understandings of, the design and development of STEM learning in informal environments.

韦恩州立大学数学兵团是一项数学丰富和指导计划，在夏季和周六运作。在这个非正式学习计划中，课程和教学教学法已经证明了支持年轻人的数学学习以及提高学校成就水平的成功。通过严格的研究和评估，该项目旨在分析和理解数学团在底特律青年学习以及在三个地点的计划复制过程中取得成功的性质，程度和原因：俄亥俄州克利夫兰；纽约州尤蒂卡；和宾夕法尼亚州费城。因此，该项目将加深对计划复制的理解，并满足经济挑战社区中青年的需求，以促进数学学习。该项目的研究将评估使数学兵团在底特律中成功的多个因素，并记录该计划对三个复制站点的实施。研究方法包括话语分析，调查，访谈和预测试。该项目还将根据定量数据集对近期和长期青年成果进行数学兵团的回顾性评估。该项目由前进的非正式STEM学习计划资助，该项目旨在提高对非正式环境中STEM学习的新方法，以及基于证据的理解，并基于证据的理解。
