SECTION 8630-8633



8630.  It is the intent of the Legislature, pursuant to this
chapter, to do all of the following:
   (a) Support the educational experiences of all pupils, and to
assist them to excel, in the fields of mathematics, science, and
technology, especially with regard to females and minority members,
who have traditionally been underrepresented in those fields.
   (b) Encourage and improve upon the performance of California
pupils in national competitions in mathematics, science, and
technology.
   (c) Provide opportunities for capable pupils to participate in
summer honors research programs with research faculty at the
University of California and other institutions of higher education.



8631.  The California Summer Science and Technology Academy is
hereby established. The academy shall be a statewide program that
shall be developed and operated to identify public high school pupils
with high academic potential in mathematics, science, and
technology, with an emphasis on females and minority members, to
participate in university-based research programs. Special
consideration shall be given to recruiting pupils who are
participants in the Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement
program described in Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 8600). The
pupils, in cooperation with teachers from sponsoring high schools,
shall work directly with university research faculty to undertake and
complete research purposes that are educationally significant and
scientifically manageable. The objective of the research, for the
purposes of this chapter, is to enhance the instruction in
mathematics, science, and technology that is otherwise provided to
the participating pupils in high school, to better prepare those
pupils for coursework in those subject areas at the university level,
and to provide research data to enhance the participation of those
pupils in statewide, national, and international competitions in
those subject areas.


8633.  No provision of this chapter shall apply to the University of
California unless the Regents of the University of California, by
resolution, make that provision applicable.
