Approximately 7 million school-age children live inside the path of totality for the 2024total solar eclipse. This means that most school-age children in the United States will not be in the path of totality. A project run through Southern Illinois University will develop and assess a Remote Engagement and Access to Learning (REAL) Field Trip model that would allow any school, regardless of location, funding, or other barriers, to have its students actively participate in large-scale, localized scientific events such as a solar eclipse. The model will be tested, developed and activated for the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse. The impact of this type of active scientific participation for students will be measured amongst various populations to determine the model’s effectiveness in overcoming inequalities in science-education opportunities. The REAL Field Trip model, if shown to be successful, could be used for a vast array of future scientific events and phenomena, allowing school kids from across the country to interactively participate in distant, real-time, scientific events. This will increase science literacy and numbers of children who become interested in science and STEM careers. Three middle schools located in the path of totality for the 2024 solar eclipse and three middle schools located out of the path of totality will participate in the REAL Field Trip. Student interaction with the REAL Field Trip will occur both prior to and during the eclipse via various online streaming opportunities. Prior to the eclipse, teacher-led instruction will be supplemented by pre-recorded downloadable discussions of eclipses from a diverse group of experts, providing scientific as well as artistic, economic, and historical discussions of current and past eclipses. Students will also have the opportunity to create their own eclipse videos that can be submitted for inclusion in the live eclipse broadcast. During the eclipse, students, both in and out of the path of totality, will be able to actively participate in the eclipse experience through a variety of streaming interactions including a question and answer chat session, where experts will be on hand to answer student questions in real time. Data will be collected prior to and after the eclipse to assess the efficacy of the REAL Field Trip model. In addition, the April 2024 total solar eclipse experience will be expanded beyond the partner schools through a professionally produced live TV broadcast simulcast with the REAL Field Trip over the national PBS feed. This broadcast format will reach a much larger national audience.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

大约 700 万学龄儿童生活在 2024 年日全食的区域内，这意味着美国的大多数学龄儿童将不会处于日全食的区域内。评估远程参与和学习（REAL）实地考察模型，该模型允许任何学校，无论地点、资金或其他障碍如何，让学生积极参与大规模、本地化的科学活动，例如该模型将在 2024 年 4 月 8 日日全食期间进行测试、开发和激活。将在不同人群中衡量这种积极的科学参与对学生的影响，以确定该模型在克服科学不平等方面的有效性。真正的实地考察模型如果被证明是成功的，可以用于未来的大量科学事件和现象，让全国各地的学生能够互动地参与远程、实时的科学活动。这将提高科学素养以及对科学和 STEM 职业感兴趣的儿童数量。位于 2024 年日全食路径中的三所中学和位于全食路径之外的三所中学将参加 REAL。实地考察。在日食之前和期间，学生将通过各种在线流媒体机会与真实实地考察进行互动。在日食之前，教师主导的教学将辅以预先录制的可下载讨论。来自不同专家组的日食，提供对当前和过去日食的科学以及艺术、经济和历史讨论。学生还将有机会制作自己的日食视频，并提交到现场日食广播中。日食期间，无论是在全食路径内还是在全食路径外，学生都将能够通过各种流媒体互动积极参与日食体验，包括问答聊天会话，专家将在场实时回答学生的问题。将在日食之前和之后收集数据，以评估“真实实地考察”模型的效果。此外，2024 年 4 月的日全食体验将通过专业制作的现场直播扩展到合作学校之外。通过全国 PBS 电视直播与 REAL Field Trip 同步播出，这种广播形式将吸引更多的全国观众。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和能力进行评估，被认为值得支持。更广泛的影响审查标准。
