Secondary teachers of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
are invited to attend a 4.5-day training workshop, "Science Research in
the High School", on 13-17 June 2005 in Fairbanks, Alaska.
This goal of the workshop is to provide teachers with the tools
necessary to get their students involved in original scientific research
through the Alaska Statewide High School Science Symposium (ASHSSS). The
ASHSSS, a University of Alaska outreach program, supports secondary
students conducting scientific research outside the classroom and
provides the guidance of a mentor. This workshop will familiarize
teachers with more recent technology and show them how to help their
students participate in the ASHSSS.
The workshop is sponsored jointly by the Universities of Alaska
Fairbanks and New York at Albany with funding provided by NSF.
Participants will be provided with:
- all workshop materials;
- room and board costs at UAF during the 4.5-day workshop;
- three seminar hours of transferable graduate credit at UNY at Albany;
- travel costs to get from home site to UAF; and
- a $600 USD stipend!
Participants will pre-prepare articles and presentations with guidance
before coming to the workshop and, as a result, will be ready to "hit
the ground running."
An NSF stipulation requires that the school or district of each teacher
and/or participant assist with costs not to exceed $500. Funds needed to
accommodate 25 teacher/participant's for this cost to school districts
have been requested from UAF's Vice Chancellor for Outreach.
