This grant offers Latino high school students and teachers the opportunity to explore archeology and understand Hispanic contributions to the American Southwest. Through visits to National Park units, heritage sites, and archeology labs at the University of Arizona, they will be exposed to scientific careers, National Park Service roles, and hands-on learning experiences. Students will use iPads for data collection and report production, culminating in a final report to the NPS and Desert Southwest CESU. Application deadline is August 1, 2018.

| Description: | Twelve Latino high school students and three teachers will be introduced to archeology as a means of understanding Hispanic contributions to the settlement and culture of the American Southwest. Visits to nine National Park units and several Hispanic heritage and American Indian sites will broaden the context of Hispanic interactions in the region. Work on the archeological site and additional time spent in the six archeology labs at the University of Arizona will provide a range of scientific careers for them to consider. Students will also be exposed to careers within the National Park Service and meet with Latino staff in those parks. For most of the students it will be their first visit to a National Park and perhaps the first time they could broaden their consideration of scientific careers through hand-on learning. Students will also use iPads to collect data and produce reports and videos. A final report on the project will be produced and delivered to the NPS and Desert Southwest CESU. |
