American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) Convening on Computer Science Education for Native Students

美国印第安人科学与工程学会提议召开一次针对土著学生的计算机科学(CS)教育会议。美国原住民学生和专业人士在CS中的代表性明显不足，现在是召集利益相关者、了解原住民学生和原住民服务机构接受CS教育的障碍并确定必要的资源和关系的关键时刻，以真正实现将原住民学生带入全国CSfor All运动的变化。AISS将通过在其网络和伙伴网络内进行外联，并通过有针对性地向主要利益攸关方进行外联，为讲习班招募参与者。AISS将与土著教育研究人员、AISES教育委员会和部落国家咨询委员会合作，制定召开会议的议程。建议召开会议的主要目标是：1)利用不同利益相关者的集体知识来识别和了解向土著学生提供CS教育的挑战和当前的最佳实践；2)利用这些集体知识来制定战略，以增加土著学生接触和参与CS的机会；以及3)概述NSF的机会并确定技术援助需求，以促进部落、土著服务机构和土著教育研究人员更多地参与NSF计划。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) proposes a Convening on Computer Science (CS) Education for Native Students. Native American students and professionals are significantly underrepresented in CS and this is a critical time to convene stakeholders, develop an understanding of the barriers to CS education for Native students and Native-serving institutions, and identify resources and relationships necessary to truly effect change that will bring Native American students into the national CSforAll movement. AISES will recruit participants for the workshop with outreach within its network and partner networks, and through targeted outreach to key stakeholders. AISES will collaborate with Native education researchers and the AISES Education Committee and Tribal Nations Advisory Council to develop the convening's agenda. The primary objectives of the proposed convening are to: 1) use the collective knowledge of a diverse set of stakeholders to identify and understand the challenges and current best practices of providing CS education to Native students; 2) use this collective knowledge to develop strategies for increasing access to and engagement in CS among Native students; and 3) provide an overview of NSF opportunities and identify technical assistance needs to facilitate greater participation in NSF programs among tribes, Native-serving institutions, and Native education researchers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
