OSTI ID:5263490
The national need for well trained scientists and engineers is more urgent today than ever before. Scientists who are trained in advanced computational techniques and have experience with multidisciplinary scientific collaboration are needed for both research and commercial applications if the United States is to maintain its productivity and technical edge in the world market. Many capable high school students, however, lose interest in pursuing scientific academic subjects or in considering science or engineering as a possible career. An academic contest that progresses from a state-sponsored program to a national competition is a way of developing science and computing knowledge among high school students and teachers as well as instilling enthusiasm for science. This paper describes an academic-year long program for high school students in New Mexico. The unique features, method, and evaluation of the program are discussed.
