Creativity is a fundamental aspect of computing innovation and a driving force in arts, sciences, and engineering. It plays a crucial role in our economic and social advancement, serving as a precursor to scientific breakthroughs, technological developments, and novel cultural and aesthetic experiences. Established in 1993, the ACM Creativity and Cognition (C&C) conference provides a platform for a diverse community of researchers, designers, engineers, and artists who converge to offer innovative, interdisciplinary insights on the nexus of creativity and cognition in technological innovation. The 16th edition of C&C will take place June 24-26 in Chicago, IL; through supporting travel to Graduate and Undergraduate Symposia at the conference, this award will provide students with a unique opportunity to present early stage research and receive feedback from mentors with different disciplinary backgrounds. They will gain experience and skills in communicating their own work and critiquing the work of peers. They will come away with new research insights and possible directions, with better understanding of prior work and of the field overall, and with new awareness of potentially useful methods that draw from different disciplines.This grant will provide travel support to about 8 graduate and 8 undergraduate students who otherwise have limited travel funding and so might not be able to attend. Students will be selected based on their likely sustained interest around the conference topics and community and their financial need, with an eye toward supporting students from a diversity of disciplinary, personal, and institutional backgrounds. Since many applicants will be first time conference attendees and writers, the organizing committee will also provide mentoring workshops for prospective attendees to both improve applications and build connections even for students who ultimately cannot attend.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.

创造力是计算创新和艺术，科学和工程学的驱动力的基本方面。它在我们的经济和社会发展中起着至关重要的作用，是科学突破，技术发展以及新颖的文化和审美经验的先驱。 ACM创造力和认知（C＆C）会议成立于1993年，为多元化的研究人员，设计师，工程师和艺术家社区提供了一个平台，他们聚集在技术创新中提供创新的，跨学科的见解。 C＆C第16版将于6月24日至26日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行；通过在会议上支持前往研究生和本科专题讨论会的旅行，该奖项将为学生提供一个独特的机会来展示早期研究，并从具有不同学科背景的导师那里获得反馈。他们将获得经验和技能，以交流自己的工作并批评同龄人的工作。他们将带来新的研究见解和可能的方向，对先前的工作和整体领域有更好的了解，并有了新的意识，即从不同学科中汲取的潜在有用方法的新认识。这项拨款将为约8名研究生和8名本科生提供旅行支持，而这些学生原本有限的旅行资金有限，因此可能无法参加。 将根据他们对会议主题和社区及其财务需求的可能持续的兴趣选择学生，并着眼于支持来自各种纪律，个人和机构背景的学生。 由于许多申请人将成为第一次会议的参与者和作家，因此组织委员会还将为潜在参与者提供指导研讨会，以改善应用程序和建立连接，即使最终无法参加的学生也可以为学生建立联系。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为通过基金会的智力和更广泛的Impact Impact Impact Impact Impact Impactia审查Criteria，并被视为值得通过评估的支持。
