The University of Texas at Austin's Texas Advanced Computing Center, Chaminade University of Honolulu (CUH), and the Georgia Institute of Technology will lead this NSF INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilot (DDLP) to establish a model for data science preparation of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) students at the high school and undergraduate levels. The project is premised on the promise of NHPI communities gaining access to, and the ability to work with, large data sets to tackle emerging problems in the Pacific. Such agency over "big data" sets that are relevant to Pacific issues, and contemporary skills in data science, analytics and visualization have the potential to be transformative for community improvement efforts. The effort has the potential to advance knowledge, instructional pedagogy and practices to improve NHPI high school and undergraduate students performance in and attraction to STEM education and careers.The project team will work to: 1) Increase interest and proficiency in data science and visualization among NHPI high school and undergraduate students through a summer immersion experience that bridges computation and culture; 2) Build data science capacity at an NHPI serving undergraduate institution (CUH) through creation of a certificate program; and 3) Develop and expand partnerships with other organizations with related goals working with NHPI populations. The month-long summer training for 20 NHPI college students, and five NHPI high school students, takes place at CUH and focuses on data science, visualization, and virtual reality, including working on problem sets that require data science approaches and incorporate geographically, socially- and culturally-relevant research themes.

得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校得克萨斯高级计算中心、火奴鲁鲁夏米诺大学(CUH)和佐治亚理工学院将领导这项NSF包括设计和开发启动试点(DDLP)，以建立夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民(NHPI)学生在高中和本科水平上的数据科学准备模式。该项目的前提是NHPI社区能够获得大型数据集并与之合作，以解决太平洋地区新出现的问题。这种与太平洋问题相关的“大数据”集合的机构，以及数据科学、分析和可视化方面的当代技能，有可能对社区改进工作产生变革作用。这项工作有可能促进知识、教学方法和实践，以提高NHPI高中生和本科生在STEM教育和职业中的表现和吸引力。该项目团队将致力于：1)通过暑期沉浸体验提高NHPI高中生和本科生对数据科学和可视化的兴趣和熟练程度，将计算与文化联系起来；2)通过创建证书计划，在NHPI服务的本科生机构(CUH)建立数据科学能力；以及3)发展和扩大与具有相关目标的其他组织的合作伙伴关系。为期一个月的暑期培训20名NHPI大学生和5名NHPI高中生在CUH进行，重点是数据科学、可视化和虚拟现实，包括处理需要数据科学方法的问题集，并纳入与地理、社会和文化相关的研究主题。
