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.

韦恩州立大学数学队是一个数学强化和辅导项目，在夏季和周六开展。该非正式学习计划的课程和教学法在支持青少年数学学习以及提高学校成绩水平方面取得了成功。通过严格的研究和评估，该项目旨在分析和理解 Math Corps 在底特律青少年学习方面取得成功的性质、程度和原因，以及在三个地点复制项目的过程：克利夫兰，俄亥俄州；纽约州尤蒂卡；和宾夕法尼亚州费城。因此，该项目将加深对项目复制和满足经济困难社区青年需求的理解，以促进数学学习。该项目的研究将评估数学军团在底特律青年中取得成功的多种因素，并记录该方案执行到三个复制站点。研究方法包括话语分析、调查、访谈和前/后测试。该项目还将根据有关近期和长期青年成果的定量数据集对 Math Corps 进行回顾性评估。该项目由推进非正式 STEM 学习计划资助，该计划旨在推进新方法和证据-基于对非正式环境中 STEM 学习的设计和开发的理解。
