The Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program supports a diverse community of grantees led primarily by educators at community and technical colleges. ATE funded projects and centers, in collaboration with their industry and education partners, create innovative programs in the high-tech applied STEM fields critical to the US economy and develop thousands of valuable resources, activities, and events each year. ATE Central grew out of needs raised by the community to help ensure that all the resources created were made available in one place and sustained over time. ATE Central is now also an information and communication hub for the community, providing dynamic services and tools that support grantee work and an archiving service that helps sustain NSF’s valuable investment. This project will extend and enhance existing ATE Central core components, as well as providing innovative new tools and services designed to foster collaboration within and beyond ATE, amplify the impact and efforts of the community, and sustain ongoing access to and extend and expand the impact of the valuable resources and materials developed by ATE grantees.The ATE Central project team will create and deliver a new set of community-responsive solutions, tools, activities, and services and extend existing core ATE project components to support and amplify the work of ATE grantees. The proposed Convergence Labs and ATE Works will be created and delivered in collaboration with ATE center and project staff to help provide unique opportunities to explore how melding fields and technologies is influencing and driving innovation. ATE Informatics will support grantees, funders, and other stakeholders with a better understanding of the evolution of the community, pulling together available programmatic data from inception to present, showcasing potential trends, gaps, and future directions. The collective work of the ATE community and ATE Central impacts a diverse set of stakeholders including students, faculty, and industry partners. ATE Central shares out information and metadata about the deliverables and resources created by ATE grantees. The project will expand the awareness and reach of these critical ATE materials beyond ATE, via efforts like the STEM Curriculum Dissemination Channel and harvesting of metadata by organizations from the digital library and education communities like the STEM Exchange and OAIster. The project's ongoing commitment to Universal Design will help ensure all stakeholders, including those with disabilities, can make use of these valuable resources. The Archiving Service will help protect NSF's investment and provide long- term access for current and future grantees, as well as those from the larger education community, extending and increasing the adoption, adaptation, and impact of the work of ATE grantees. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the nation's economy.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.

先进技术教育（ATE）项目支持主要由社区和技术学院的教育工作者领导的多样化的受资助群体。ATE资助的项目和中心与他们的行业和教育合作伙伴合作，在对美国经济至关重要的高科技应用STEM领域创建创新项目，并每年开发数千个有价值的资源、活动和事件。ATE Central源于社区提出的需求，以帮助确保所有创建的资源在一个地方可用并持续一段时间。ATE Central现在也是社区的信息和通信中心，提供动态的服务和工具，以支持受资助的工作，并提供归档服务，帮助维持NSF的宝贵投资。该项目将扩展和加强现有的ATE Central核心组件，并提供创新的新工具和服务，旨在促进ATE内部和外部的合作，扩大社区的影响和努力，并保持对ATE受助人开发的宝贵资源和材料的持续访问，并扩展和扩大其影响。ATE Central项目团队将创建并提供一套新的社区响应解决方案、工具、活动和服务，并扩展现有的ATE核心项目组成部分，以支持和扩大ATE受助人的工作。拟议的融合实验室和ATE工程将与ATE中心和项目人员合作创建和交付，以帮助提供独特的机会，探索融合领域和技术如何影响和推动创新。ATE Informatics将帮助受助者、资助者和其他利益相关者更好地了解社区的发展，将从开始到现在的可用规划数据汇总在一起，展示潜在的趋势、差距和未来的方向。ATE社区和ATE Central的集体工作影响着包括学生、教师和行业合作伙伴在内的各种利益相关者。ATE Central共享关于由ATE受助人创建的可交付成果和资源的信息和元数据。该项目将通过诸如STEM课程传播渠道和来自数字图书馆和教育社区（如STEM Exchange和OAIster）的组织收集元数据的努力，扩大对这些关键的ATE材料的认识和影响范围。该项目对通用设计的持续承诺将有助于确保包括残疾人在内的所有利益相关者都能利用这些宝贵的资源。档案服务将有助于保护NSF的投资，并为当前和未来的受助者以及来自更大的教育社区的受助者提供长期访问，扩展和增加ATE受助者工作的采用、适应和影响。该项目由先进技术教育计划资助，该计划侧重于为推动国家经济的先进技术领域培养技术人员。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
