NSF CCSC Computer Science Education Showcase

美国国家科学基金会（NSF）大学计算机科学联盟（CCSC）计算机科学教育展示会将NSF SIGCSE展示会扩展为一系列区域性会议，其目标是增加DUE投资组合中所代表的机构和社区的多样性。多年来，NSF通过各种计划资助了许多计算机科学教育（CS Ed）项目。每个项目都有可能对国家计算机科学教育产生重大影响。近年来，NSF在SIGCSE（计算机科学教育大会）上赞助了一个展示这些项目的展览。该展示为项目主要研究者（pi）、NSF DUE项目官员和与会者提供了一个互动的平台。人们普遍认为，展示是nsf资助项目的成功传播工具。由于缺乏旅行资金，许多CS教育社区很难参加SIGCSE，而是参加CCSC主办的十个年度区域会议之一。CCSC的创建是为了改善全国两年制和四年制学院和大学的计算机课程，并改善计算机作为所有学科的教育资源的使用。虽然CCSC和SIGCSE社区重叠，但CCSC的展示有可能接触到经常被忽视的计算机科学教育工作者。通过潜在地提高资源较少的机构和社区对NSF CS ed相关项目的认识，以及随后每年向DUE项目提交提案的pi的数量和广度，展示解决了国家对STEM多元化参与的关注。在两年多的时间里，NSF CCSC展示项目将在CCSC区域会议上举办展示展览，通过为项目pi提供旅行支持来进行推广和展示选定的NSF计算机科学教育项目。这将使pi能够接触到与SIGCSE互补的受众。该项目将跟踪展示的计算机科学教育项目的数量，接触到这些项目的计算机科学教育工作者，每个展示会的与会者，计划实施每个展示会所传播的思想的与会者，计划在未来提交NSF提案的与会者，以及要求被考虑为NSF审稿人的与会者。目标是建立CCSC展示作为传播工具的可行性，并作为开发更强大的计算机科学课程的工具。

The NSF Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges (CCSC) Computer Science Education Showcase will expand the NSF SIGCSE Showcase to a set of regional conferences, with the goal of increasing the diversity of institutions and communities represented in the DUE portfolio. Over the years, NSF has funded numerous Computer Science Education (CS Ed) projects through various programs. Each has the potential for significant national impact on CS Ed. In recent years NSF has sponsored a showcase featuring these projects at SIGCSE, the premier CS Ed conference. This showcase has provided a vehicle for project principal investigators (PIs), NSF DUE program officers, and attendees to interact. It is widely believed that the showcase is a successful dissemination vehicle for NSF-sponsored projects. Due to lack of travel funds, many in the CS Ed community find it difficult to attend SIGCSE, and instead participate in one of ten annual regional conferences sponsored by CCSC. CCSC was created for the betterment of computer-oriented curricula in two-year and four-year colleges and universities across the nation and to improve the use of computing as an educational resource for all disciplines. While CCSC and SIGCSE communities overlap, the CCSC showcases have the potential to reach a population of computer science educators that are often otherwise overlooked. The showcases address the national concern about diversifying participation in STEM by potentially increasing the awareness of NSF CS Ed-related programs among institutions and communities with fewer resources, and subsequently the volume and breadth of PIs submitting proposals each year to DUE programs.Over two years, the NSF CCSC Showcase project will stage showcase exhibits at CCSC regional conferences to perform outreach and to feature select NSF Computer Science Education projects by providing travel support for project PIs who will disseminate their work. This will enable the PIs to reach an audience that complements SIGCSE. The project will track the numbers of CS Ed projects presented, computer science educators exposed to the projects, attendees at each showcase, attendees who plan on implementing the ideas disseminated at each Showcase, attendees who plan to submit NSF proposals in the future, and attendees who request to be considered as a NSF reviewers. The goal is to establish the viability of the CCSC Showcase as a dissemination vehicle and as a vehicle for developing a stronger Computer Science curriculum.
