Detroit Mathematics and Science
Centers provided a variety of mathematics, science and technology
programming for K-12 students.
Non-formal Enrichment Programming was provided
in an array of school day classroom programs and mathematics/science/technology
rich sites (for example, museums, natural areas, science labs,
camps, businesses) and after school and summer enrichment programs
(for example, workshops, classes, field trips).
In addition, some programming included
formal periodic intensive programs (special weekend, evening,
or summer activities), and distance learning programs (activities
using transmission/interaction by video, cable, television, electronic
mail, or Internet).

*An event is described by a class session that
may meet once or weekly throughout the term or school year.
- There were a total of 4,056 sessions for
students: 53% were in mathematics, 26% in science, and 21% in
integrated mathematics, science and technology.
- Of these sessions; 41% were targeted toward
Elementary students, 40% toward Middle School or Jr. High, 12%
toward High School, and 7% toward K-12.

Visteon Day at the Zoo
- Two hundred fifty-four (254) third grade students from three (3) elementary
schools, Courville, B. Jordan and Krolik participated in two field trips
each to the Zoo. Eighty-four Visteon employees served as docents and led
the students through a highly structured science lesson.

Summer Learning Academies for Students
- Summer classes were required of students in grades 3, 5 and 8 who did
not meet certain minimum standards and/or attendance requirements for
promotion to the next grade. The six-week program served as a safety net
for over 21,600 students in danger of nonpromotion. Strengthening classes
were offered to students in Grades 1,2,4,6 and 7. The sessions included
hands-on mathematics and science classes geared to MAT and MEAP proficiency.
Curriculum support was provided in the form of model frameworks aligned
to the district and state standards. Science and mathematics kits, manipulatives
and supplies were provided to all teachers. The unprecedented number of
students served by this intensive summer learning program posed a challenge
for the district and the students. Students benefited academically from
the smaller class sizes (10-15 students per class), individual attention
and tutoring.
Star Base Science Program - The
Star Base Science program permitted one hundred (100) middle school students
to attend a field trip to Selfridge Air Force Base to see the operation
of mechanics.
FIRST Robotics Team
- F.I.R.S.T. (For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology)
in its ninth year, is designed to promote an interest in engineering through
sports-like competitions. Twelve high schools participated.
 FIRST
Lego League - F.I.R.S.T. (For Inspiration
and Recognition in Science and Technology) in its third year, is designed
to promote an interest in engineering through sports-like competitions.
Teams use Lego kits and computer software to design robots that will complete
tasks on a playing board. Teams are judged on their robot design, oral
interviews about background information and visual displays that capture
the setting of the game. One hundred nineteen (119) middle school students
participated.
Thirty-Seventh Annual Michigan Junior Science
and Humanities Symposium - Five students
entered research papers. All were accepted. Four students presented at
the Symposium. Tamika Delaine, Redford High School; Kenneth Matthew, Western
International High School; Stephanie Jones, Western International High
School; and Nakeeta Ward, Communications, Media and Arts High School.
Thirty-seven high school students attended as participants. Five teachers
and administrators attended.
Science and Engineering Fairs
- DPS students won ten Grand Awards in the senior and junior divisions.
