Rhode Island Information Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (RI-ITEST) is a comprehensive ITEST project for high school students and teachers. The goal of RI-ITEST is to prepare students from diverse backgrounds for careers in information technologies by engaging them in exciting, inquiry-based learning activities that use sophisticated computational models in support of a revolutionary science curriculum. It advances science education by enhancing the Physics First initiative in Rhode Island through the use of NSF funded student materials based on molecular modeling and promotes IT education by teaching modeling skills and providing students with career and vocational information on the use of computational models. The project provides over 120 hours of credit-bearing activities for 100 teachers and full support for classroom implementation. RI-ITEST is developing an optimal placement of the interactive materials from CC's Science of Atoms and Molecules project in the Physics First courses in Rhode Island; developing IT materials that are coordinated with the student materials that emphasize modeling skills and the career and vocational dimensions of computational modeling; preparing100 diverse Rhode Island science teachers in two cohorts to offer a course in the Physics-Chemistry-Biology sequence; developing materials and supports for using molecular dynamics and related IT materials for teachers in Rhode Island and elsewhere who are not ITEST participants; generating evidence for the effectiveness of the IT-enhanced project materials for increasing student learning and changing student attitudes about science, mathematics, and technology careers; reaching parents, guidance counselors, school administrators, and business partners with information about the project, student productions, and evidence for effectiveness; disseminating materials and findings to other teachers, programs, and districts nationwide.

罗德岛州学生和教师信息技术体验（RI-ITEST）是一个面向高中学生和教师的综合信息技术测试项目。RI-ITEST的目标是通过使用复杂的计算模型来支持革命性的科学课程，让来自不同背景的学生参与令人兴奋的研究性学习活动，为他们在信息技术领域的职业生涯做好准备。它通过使用NSF资助的基于分子建模的学生材料来加强罗德岛的物理第一倡议，从而促进科学教育，并通过教授建模技能和向学生提供有关使用计算模型的职业和职业信息来促进It教育。该项目为100名教师提供了超过120小时的学分活动，并为课堂实施提供了全面支持。RI-ITEST正在为CC的原子与分子科学项目开发一种最佳的互动材料，用于罗德岛州的物理第一课程；开发与学生材料协调的IT材料，强调建模技能和计算建模的职业和职业维度；准备100名不同的罗德岛科学教师分成两组，提供物理-化学-生物顺序的课程；为罗德岛州和其他地方非ITEST参与者的教师开发使用分子动力学和相关IT材料的材料和支持；为信息技术增强的项目材料在提高学生学习和改变学生对科学、数学和技术职业的态度方面的有效性提供证据；向家长、指导顾问、学校管理人员和商业伙伴提供有关项目、学生作品和有效性证据的信息；向全国其他教师、计划和地区传播材料和发现。
