Strategic Summit on the Computing Education Challenges at Community Colleges

该项目支持为期两天半的活动，即社区学院计算教育挑战战略峰会，旨在应对未来五年及以后的计算教育挑战。来自工业界和学术界的不同专家组聚集在一起，进行集中的圆桌讨论，只解决一个问题：“未来五到十年社区学院计算课程面临的主要挑战是什么？”“这就是这个项目的主要目标和核心知识价值。本次活动的程序有助于引导和影响未来几年向NSF提出的倡议和资助建议。第二个目标自然源于第一个目标，即随后广泛分享这些结论-以实现最高水平的广泛影响-从而推动应对这些挑战的倡议和赠款提案。

This project supports the running of a two-and-a-half day event, a Strategic Summit on the Computing Education Challenges for Community Colleges, designed to frame the challenges of the next five years and beyond of computing education. A diverse group of experts, from industry as well as from academia, is brought together to engage in focused round table discussions to address just one question: "What are the major challenges confronting computing programs in community colleges spanning the next five to ten years?" This then constitutes the primary goal of this project and the core intellectual merit. The proceedings from this event serve to steer and influence initiatives and funding proposals to NSF in the coming years. A secondary goal, arising naturally from the first, is to subsequently share these conclusions widely - to achieve the highest level of broader impact - in order to spur initiatives and grant proposals which respond to these challenges.
