by DIVERSE Staff , August 13, 2008

Categories:

The NSF Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences (OEDG) program, which funded the camps, is designed to address the underrepresentation of primarily Native Americans and Alaskan Natives, and increase their participation in the geosciences.

At the end of the camps, the announcement said, the students were invited to start working on science projects of their choice for the coming High Plains Regional Science Fair held on the School of Mines campus in March 2009. Faculty and researchers involved with the camps are offering to advise and mentor the students. The goal is to have participants develop science projects that qualify for the National American Indian Science and Engineering Fair hosted by the American Indian Science and Engineering Society in Saint Paul, Minn. in March 2009.
