NAEP is acting as the information gathering source for a growing network of people across the country who are interested in engaging Aboriginal young people in math and science. As a first step, we are hoping to compile a complete inventory of existing programmes, projects, initiatives etc. for Aboriginal children and youth (and their parents and communities) which focus on math and science. We are particularly interested in programmes which provide means for young people to examine both indigenous and western approaches to understanding the world and the way it works.

Do the young people in your community participate in any science/math/IK focused programme operated by the tribal authority, community centre, region, province, school or an enthusiastic local teacher? It could be a science fair or camp, a cultural fair, an after school club or a community centre group. We know there are many excellent and exciting programmes out there, and are hoping to find a way to more effectively share information about them.

Please fill in the following form for each programme you wish to submit.

Please be assured, NAEP will not publicly post or disseminate any personal information without permission.

DEADLINE: February 10, 2006, 17h00 EST

In order to encourage your participation in this project, everyone who submits a programme to the inventory will be eligible for a drawing for a $500 gift certificate from Chapters.
