Supercomputer Teacher Enhancement Project (STEP)

超级计算教师增强项目（STEP） 圣地亚哥地区的46名教师， 个月其中六名教师是首席教师， 在劳伦斯利弗莫尔实验室的广泛培训之前， 该项目的启动和大学的费用。 他们作为 与40名参与者一起工作的助教 教师在接下来的三年里。 与会 教师学习计算科学的基础知识， 编程和高性能计算， 与大约10名其他教师分享和合作， 他们的学校 他们学习在多个层面上使用计算， 将计算科学纳入课程， 为学生开发活动或项目。 老师 培训包括为期三周的夏季研讨会，学术 年会议，并参观当地设施。 通过各大学的共同努力， 学区，超级计算中心， 社区，该项目将直接影响学生在城市 以及圣地亚哥地区的类似学校， 少数民族学生。 该项目针对任职人数不足的人 传统上是学生的老师和老师 代表性不足。

The Supercomputing Teacher Enhancement Project (STEP) trains forty-six teachers in the San Diego area over a period of 42 months. Six of the teachers are lead teachers who receive extensive training at the Lawrence Livermore Labs prior to the start of the project and at university expense. They serve as teaching assistants working with the forty participating teachers over the following three years. The participating teachers learn the basics of computational science, programming, and high performance computing then are expected to share and work with approximately ten other teachers in their schools. They learn to use computing at many levels, to incorporate computational science into their curriculum, and to develop activities or projects for students. The teacher training consists of three week summer workshops, academic year meetings, and visits to local facilities. Through the combined efforts of the universities, the local school districts, the super computing center, and the community, the project will directly impact students in urban and similar schools in the San Diego area with a high number of minority students. The project targets underrepresented teacher and teachers of students who are traditionally underrepresented.
