The Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. and its National Computational Science Institute (NCSI) in partnership with Noyce Program Scholars and Fellows, is building cultural bridges connecting US and Thailand to promote an international research and training initiative to improve teacher preparation in mathematics and science and in the authentic uses of computational and communication technologies. The introductory (pilot) workshop is exposing teachers in both cultures to computational thinking, modeling and data analysis. Materials for the workshop are drawn from the National Science Digital Library (NSDL), in particular Shodor's extensive Interactivate collection of lessons, discussions, activities, and supporting materials, all aligned with National Council of Teacher of Mathematics (NCTM) and Common Core Standards. Given the initiative in Thailand to give nearly a million tablet computers to students, special focus is given to Shodor's Interactivate materials, and in particular those that have been converted to run on mobile platforms. Lessons learned from this initiative are improving materials in the National Science Digital Library (nsdl.org) and providing practical lessons conveyed by the Noyce participants and NCSI back to their US colleagues. This first collaborative step between US and Thai teachers provides an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and lessons learned in the future. This international project is jointly funded through the Office of International Science and Engineering and the EHR/DUE Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship and Fellowship Program.

Shodor教育基金会泰国国立大学及其国家计算科学研究所（NCSI）与诺伊斯计划学者和研究员合作，正在建立连接美国和泰国的文化桥梁，以促进国际研究和培训计划，以提高数学和科学以及计算和通信技术的真实使用方面的教师准备。介绍（试点）研讨会是暴露在两种文化的教师计算思维，建模和数据分析。研讨会的材料摘自国家科学数字图书馆（NSDL），特别是Shodor广泛的互动课程、讨论、活动和支持材料集，所有这些都符合国家数学教师理事会（NCTM）和共同核心标准。鉴于泰国向学生提供近100万台平板电脑的举措，特别关注Shodor的Interactivate材料，特别是那些已转换为在移动的平台上运行的材料。从这一倡议中吸取的经验教训正在改进国家科学数字图书馆（nsdl.org）的材料，并提供诺伊斯参与者和NCSI向美国同事传达的实用经验教训。美国和泰国教师之间的第一个合作步骤为未来交流思想和经验教训提供了机会。该国际项目由国际科学与工程办公室和EHR/DUE Robert Noyce教师奖学金和奖学金计划共同资助。
