This SBIR Phase II project aims to transform the lives and future economic opportunities of young people and their communities through democratized access to cross-curricular computer science, engineering, and cybersecurity education. Daily life, economies, innovation, and national security all depend on having a strong and skilled STEM workforce. For this workforce to exist, our schools must provide the necessary education and experience to prepare students for such careers. Unfortunately, a vast majority of K-12 educators today are not equipped with the resources to do so successfully. The importance of solving this problem cannot be overstated; developing a plentitude of competent STEM professionals is critical to ensure economic and security stability. These project goals are aligned with NSF?s mission to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense. The resulting technology innovation is of potential service to more than 50 million primary and secondary school students and 3.5 million educators nationally, with an ability to impact their course of study, improve STEM outcomes, increase hands-on project-based experience, and improve future economic opportunities.This technology innovation emerges at the intersection of cloud-based software technology, real-time collaboration tools, and learning management systems. This reimagined technology tool easily connects, attracts, and fosters delivery of cross-curricular, educational computing literacy resources aligned with national and state educational standards. The project aims to empower and support educators and students in tackling the many new opportunities and growing number of resources in computer science (CS) and engineering education at home, in classrooms, and in community centers. As the CS education landscape evolves with new and exciting technical curriculum, this innovation analyzes the willingness of educators to create or adopt new computer science education, the effectiveness of real-time collaboration tools on CS education outcomes, and measures student awareness and feelings about computer science and engineering disciplines. This technology innovation promotes customer participation and a unique ability to provide support at the ground level in real-time. There are solutions that provide massive online CS courses and curricula; however, none targeting K-12 classrooms or educators which support and integrate cross-curricular computer science, engineering, and cybersecurity education. Offering cloud-based, synchronous technology tools this technology enables real-time, expert mentoring and pair-programming in a K12 virtual learning environment on a massive scale.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

SBIR第二阶段项目旨在通过民主化的跨课程计算机科学，工程和网络安全教育来改变年轻人及其社区的生活和未来经济机会。日常生活、经济、创新和国家安全都取决于拥有强大而熟练的STEM劳动力。为了使这一劳动力存在，我们的学校必须提供必要的教育和经验，使学生为这些职业做好准备。不幸的是，今天绝大多数K-12教育工作者都没有成功做到这一点的资源。解决这一问题的重要性怎么强调都不为过;培养合格的STEM专业人员对于确保经济和安全稳定至关重要。这些项目目标与NSF一致吗？它的使命是促进科学的进步，促进国家的健康、繁荣和福利，并确保国防安全。由此产生的技术创新可能为全国5000多万中小学生和350万教育工作者提供服务，能够影响他们的学习课程，改善STEM成果，增加基于项目的实践经验，并改善未来的经济机会。这种技术创新出现在基于云的软件技术，实时协作工具，学习管理系统。这种重新设计的技术工具可以轻松地连接，吸引和促进跨课程的教育计算素养资源的交付，这些资源与国家和州的教育标准保持一致。该项目旨在授权和支持教育工作者和学生在家中，教室和社区中心处理计算机科学（CS）和工程教育的许多新机会和越来越多的资源。随着CS教育格局随着新的和令人兴奋的技术课程的发展，这项创新分析了教育工作者创建或采用新的计算机科学教育的意愿，实时协作工具对CS教育成果的有效性，并衡量了学生对计算机科学和工程学科的认识和感受。这项技术创新促进了客户的参与和在地面提供实时支持的独特能力。有提供大规模在线CS课程和课程的解决方案;但是，没有一个针对K-12教室或支持和整合跨课程计算机科学，工程和网络安全教育的教育工作者。通过提供基于云的同步技术工具，该技术可在K12虚拟学习环境中大规模地实现实时专家指导和结对编程。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
