The development and implementation of the 1980 Summer Research Apprenticeship Program (SRAP) for minority junior high school students conducted by the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Office of Equal Opportunity is summarized. This six-week pilot program, funded by the Department of Energy, was designed to stimulate a broader interest in scientific, engineering, and other technical careers among minority students. Although the summer program emphasized an academic enrichment curriculum, the anticipated academic year follow-up will concentrate on providing career education activities, field trips to local industrial sites, and guest speakers, such as research scientists from the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL). The summer program provided hands on activities in the laboratory, instruction in mathematics, development of scientific communication skills, computer science techniques, and exposure to researchers at work. The SRAP, housed on the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) campus, also provided field trips to local science and energy-related exhibits, group counseling, and films. 3 figures, 2 tables.
