Education and Teacher Enhancement at the "SuperComputing '97" Conference

9714848 Giles这个为期12个月的项目帮助支持150名教师参加SuperComputing '97会议，包括专门为教育工作者准备的特别会议和研讨会。会议的主题是“探索高性能网络和计算在21世纪终身教育中的多种可能作用”。今年的项目将参与者从教师扩大到学生、管理人员和社区（技术）领袖，并特别强调少数族裔的参与；提供计算科学论坛；基金的老师;并支持教师摊位。对计算科学的强调是建立在课堂背景下的，并且pi寻求就这些工具和技术如何有助于实施国家科学和数学标准产生对话。总共有150名教师、20名学生、20名学校管理人员和10名社区技术领袖参加了会议，其中大约50人来自圣何塞会议区。成本分担率为8%。NSF的资助覆盖了一半的参与者。预计将有大量公司捐款支付其余大约100名与会者的费用。

9714848 Giles This twelve month project helps to support 150 teachers participating in the SuperComputing '97 conference including special sessions and workshops specifically intended for educators. The conference theme is "the exploration of the many possible roles of high performance networking and computing in lifelong education in the 21st century." This year's program broadens the participants beyond teachers to include students, administrators and community (technology) leaders, with a particular emphasis on minority participation; offers fora on computational science; funds teachers; and supports a teacher booth. The emphasis on computation science is grounded in the classroom context, and the PIs seek to generate dialog on how these tools and techniques can contribute to the implementation of the national science and mathematics standards. In total 150 teachers, 20 students, 20 school administrators, and 10 community technology leaders are participating, approximately 50 of whom are from the conference area, San Jose. Cost sharing is 8%. NSF's funding covers one-half the participants. Substantial corporate contributions are expected to cover the rest, approximately 100, of the participants.
