Supercomputer Teacher Enhancement Project (STEP)

超级计算机教师提升项目（STEP）在42个月的时间里在圣地亚哥地区培训了46名教师。其中六名教师是首席教师，他们在项目开始前在劳伦斯利弗莫尔实验室接受了广泛的培训，费用由大学承担。在接下来的三年里，他们作为助教与40名参与的教师一起工作。参与的教师将学习计算科学、编程和高性能计算的基础知识，然后与他们学校的大约10名其他教师分享和合作。他们学习在许多层面上使用计算机，将计算科学纳入他们的课程，并为学生开发活动或项目。教师培训包括为期三周的暑期讲习班、学年会议和参观当地设施。通过大学、当地学区、超级计算中心和社区的共同努力，该项目将直接影响圣地亚哥地区城市和类似学校的学生，这些学校有大量的少数民族学生。该项目针对代表性不足的教师和传统上代表性不足的学生的教师。

The Supercomputing Teacher Enhancement Project (STEP) trains forty-six teachers in the San Diego area over a period of 42 months. Six of the teachers are lead teachers who receive extensive training at the Lawrence Livermore Labs prior to the start of the project and at university expense. They serve as teaching assistants working with the forty participating teachers over the following three years. The participating teachers learn the basics of computational science, programming, and high performance computing then are expected to share and work with approximately ten other teachers in their schools. They learn to use computing at many levels, to incorporate computational science into their curriculum, and to develop activities or projects for students. The teacher training consists of three week summer workshops, academic year meetings, and visits to local facilities. Through the combined efforts of the universities, the local school districts, the super computing center, and the community, the project will directly impact students in urban and similar schools in the San Diego area with a high number of minority students. The project targets underrepresented teacher and teachers of students who are traditionally underrepresented.
