Dissemination of the Inroads (SIGCSE Bulletin) Special Issue on "Women and Computing"

EIA 0226221约翰霍夫斯特拉大学Imagliazzo该奖项为ACM SIGCSE公报特刊的编写和有针对性的传播提供部分支持，特刊是关于“妇女与计算”的特刊。妇女在计算机领域的代表性明显不足，这笔资金支持向参加全国教育计算会议(NECC)的K-12教师传播这一特别问题，在该会议上，K-12教师代表了大部分与会者。这一特殊的受众被认为在帮助学生在相对较早的年龄了解这一领域的机会方面非常重要。此外，预计向这一特定群体提供这一特刊，从长远来看，可能会开始帮助缓解妇女在这一领域任职人数不足的问题。大会志愿者从ACM展台向K-12教师发放免费问题。SIGCE通讯的主编和ACM-W的两个联合主席负责监督传播工作。该特刊的其他副本正在分发给大学系主任、格雷斯·霍珀计算机女性庆典的与会者、ACM特殊兴趣小组(SIG)主席和一些ACM赞助的会议。后者的传播工作是在ACM执行委员会和其他ACM团体的支持下进行的，包括ACM理事会、ACM-W和SIG项目基金。

EIA 0226221Impagliazzo, JohnHofstra UniversityThis award provides partial support for preparation and targeted dissemination of a special issue of the ACM SIGCSE Bulletin--a special issue on "Women and Computing". Women are significantly underrepresented in computing and this funding supports dissemination of the special issue to K-12 teachers attending the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) at which K-12 teachers represent a large segment of the attendees. This particular audience is believed to be very important in helping to inform students at a relatively early age of the opportunities in this field. Further, it is expected that the availability of this special issue to this particular group may have the potential in the long term to begin to help alleviate the problem of underrepresentation of women in this field. Volunteers at the conference disseminate the free issues to the K-12 teachers from the ACM exhibit booth. The Editor-in-Chief of the SIGCE newsletter and the two ACM-W Co-chairs oversee the dissemination. Other copies of the special issue are being distributed to university department chairs, to attendees at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, to ACM Special Interest Group (SIG) Chairs, and to a number of ACM sponsored conferences. These latter dissemination efforts are being carried out with support from the ACM Executive Committee and a number of other ACM groups, including the ACM Council, ACM-W, and the SIG Project Fund.
