NSF/Banneker Computer Contest

这笔赠款支持两名少数族裔高中生和他们的监护人从华盛顿特区的本杰明·班纳克高中前往马萨诸塞州波士顿的计算机博物馆。此行的目的是奖励NSF/Banneker计算机竞赛的获胜者，让他们接触到科学家和计算机和信息科学的新技术。本杰明·班纳克高中是美国国家科学基金会的合作学校。在国家科技周之前的六个星期里，本杰明·班纳克高中举行了一场计算机编程大赛。比赛对所有学生开放，约有20人参加。有五名决赛选手，其中两名被来自NSF的评审团选为大奖获得者。计算机博物馆的斯特里姆佩尔博士将主持这次参观。学生们将参观博物馆的设施以及波士顿大学计算科学中心，在那里他们将会见几个从事计算科学工作的人。

This grant supports the travel of two minority high school students and their chaperon from Benjamin Banneker High School in Washington, DC to the Computer Museum in Boston, MA. The purpose of the trip is to reward the winners of the NSF/Banneker Computer Contest with an experience which exposes them to scientists and new technology in the computer and information sciences. Benjamin Banneker High School is the NSF partnership school. During the six weeks prior to National Science and Technology Week a computer programming contest was conducted at Benjamin Banneker High School. The contest was open to all students and about 20 participated. There were five finalists and two were selected by a panel of judges from NSF as grand prize winners. Dr. Strimpel of the Computer Museum will host the visit. The students will be given a tour of the Museum facilities as well as the Boston University Center for Computational Science, where they will meet several people working in computational science.//
