Education and Teacher Enhancement at the "SuperComputing '97" Conference

9714848 Giles这个12个月的项目帮助支持参加‘97超级计算会议的150名教师，包括专门为教育工作者设计的特别会议和研讨会。本次会议的主题是“探索高性能网络和计算在21世纪终身教育中可能扮演的角色。”今年的计划将参与者扩大到教师之外，包括学生、行政人员和社区(技术)领导人，特别强调少数群体的参与；提供关于计算科学的论坛；资助教师；并支持教师摊位。对计算科学的重视植根于课堂环境，个人投资促进机构寻求就这些工具和技术如何促进国家科学和数学标准的实施展开对话。共有150名教师、20名学生、20名学校管理人员和10名社区技术负责人参加，其中约50人来自会议区域圣何塞。成本分摊为8%。NSF的资金覆盖了一半的参与者。预计公司的大量捐款将覆盖其余约100名参与者。

9714848 Giles This twelve month project helps to support 150 teachers participating in the SuperComputing '97 conference including special sessions and workshops specifically intended for educators. The conference theme is "the exploration of the many possible roles of high performance networking and computing in lifelong education in the 21st century." This year's program broadens the participants beyond teachers to include students, administrators and community (technology) leaders, with a particular emphasis on minority participation; offers fora on computational science; funds teachers; and supports a teacher booth. The emphasis on computation science is grounded in the classroom context, and the PIs seek to generate dialog on how these tools and techniques can contribute to the implementation of the national science and mathematics standards. In total 150 teachers, 20 students, 20 school administrators, and 10 community technology leaders are participating, approximately 50 of whom are from the conference area, San Jose. Cost sharing is 8%. NSF's funding covers one-half the participants. Substantial corporate contributions are expected to cover the rest, approximately 100, of the participants.
