Collaborative Research: RET Site: Data Sciences and Data Fluency in Scientific Data Sets (DATA3)

The Data3 Experience是蒙特克莱尔州立大学(MSU)和新泽西理工学院合作的一个新的RET网站，专注于应用数据科学、人工智能和软件工程研究等主题。该网站将支持来自奥兰治学区和帕塞伊克县社区学院的初中、高中和社区大学教育工作者通过访问EarthCube数据能力小组资源来探索这些主题的研究经验。该网站还将支持密歇根州立大学红鹰CS实验室的教学体验，这是为英语学习者(可能不是以英语为第一语言的学生)举办的计算思维夏令营体验。此外，该网站将把这些专业教育体验扩展到更大的密歇根州立大学教育更新网络，这是密歇根州立大学已经建立的教育网络，为新泽西州北部的3000多名教师提供服务，覆盖260,000名学生。该网站最后将举行一次会议，讨论新泽西州北部的计算机科学教育，届时K-12学校、社区学院和大学教职员工可以开会讨论新泽西州计算机科学教育面临的紧迫问题。密歇根州立大学和NJIT之间通过EarthCube数据能力小组的合作将为计算机科学教育的教师创建资源，帮助他们探索该领域令人兴奋的主题。该项目将帮助教师探索“深度学习”的概念，这是一种人工智能技术，用于模仿人类的学习。该网站旨在进一步建立K-14计算机科学学术界和密歇根州立大学/NJIT计算机科学学术界之间的交流与合作。该网站将在初中、高中和社区大学层面聘请在职计算机科学教师，与橙色学区和帕塞克县社区学院合作，在科学数据集中进行机器学习研究，特别是来自EarthCube研究项目的太阳天气数据集。这些经验还将指导他们通过与红鹰实验室合作，将这些经验提炼成课堂上的学习单元。红鹰实验室是英语学习者的计算思维夏令营。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The DATA3 experience, a partnership between Montclair State University (MSU) and New Jersey Institute of Technology, is a new RET site focused on topics of applied data science, artificial intelligence, and software engineering research. The site will support middle school, high school, and community college educators from the Orange School District and Passaic County Community College in research experiences to explore these topics through access to the EarthCube Data Capabilities Group resources. The site will also support a pedagogical experience at MSU’s Red Hawk CS Lab, a summer camp experience in computational thinking for English learners (students who may not have English as their first language). In addition, the site will expand these professional education experiences to the larger MSU Network for Education Renewal, an already established education network at MSU servicing over 3000 teachers in northern New Jersey that reaches 260,000 students. The site will conclude with a conference to discuss Computer Science Education in Northern New Jersey, where K-12, Community Colleges and University Faculty can meet and discuss the pressing issues facing CS Education in New Jersey. A collaboration between MSU and NJIT through the EarthCube Data Capabilities Group will create resources for teachers in computer science education to help them explore exciting topics in the field. This program will help teachers explore the concepts of “Deep Learning”, an artificial intelligence technique used to try to mimic human learning. The site aims to further establish communication and collaboration between the K-14 computer science academic community and the MSU/NJIT computer science academic community. The site will engage in-service computer science teachers at the middle school, high school and community college level, with committed partners Orange School District and Passaic County Community College, in research in machine learning in scientific data sets, specifically solar weather data sets from the EarthCube research project. The experience will also guide them in distilling this experience into learning units for their classes through working with the Red Hawk Lab – a computational thinking camp for English learners.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.
