NSF Showcase for DUE Projects at the ACM SIGCSE Symposium

由美国计算机协会（ACM）计算机科学教育特别兴趣小组（SIGCSE）组织的计算机科学教育技术研讨会是最古老的ACM会议之一，也是SIGCSE的旗舰会议。该研讨会每年在北美举行一次，是计算机教育研究人员会面和传播其工作的主要场所。在SIGCSE技术研讨会上的NSF展示为NSF受助人提供了展示和传播其工作成果的机会。NSF的展示为资助接受者提供了机会来传播他们的想法，获得反馈，招募合作者和采用者，并在项目周期的早期与项目官员进行磋商，提供关键的见解，提高项目成功的可能性，并传播研究结果。NSF的展示也将包括计算教育社区成员与NSF项目官员联系的机会，以探索拨款项目并接收提案想法的反馈。NSF展示将促进共同参与计算教育研究的亲和团体之间的讨论，特别是针对与培养计算流畅的学生有关的问题，以及建立和增强计算专业劳动力，包括研究软件工程师，研究数据科学专业人员，高级网络基础设施系统专业人员等。NSF展示为许多计算机教育工作者提供了一种方式来查看正在进行的NSF项目，与NSF计划官员互动，了解NSF计划，并讨论潜在的资助项目。SIGCSE技术专题讨论会定期举行，大流行前出席人数为1 900人。会议主要服务于美国观众，大约90%的与会者来自美国，另外5%来自加拿大，其他与会者主要来自欧洲、亚洲和澳大拉西亚。NSF展示由NSF IUSE: EHR计划资助，该计划支持研究和开发项目，以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education organized by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE) is one of the oldest ACM conferences and is SIGCSE’s flagship conference. The Symposium is held annually, in North America, and is the premier venue for computing education researchers to meet and disseminate their work. The NSF showcase at the SIGCSE Technical Symposium provides an opportunity for NSF grant recipients to showcase and disseminate the results of their work. The NSF showcase provides grant recipients the opportunity to circulate their ideas, obtain feedback, recruit collaborators and adopters, and consult with program officers much earlier in the project cycle, providing crucial insights that improve the likelihood of the projects succeeding and the findings being disseminated. The NSF showcase will also include opportunities for members of the computing education community to connect with NSF program officers to explore grant programs and to receive feedback on proposal ideas. The NSF showcase will facilitate a discussion among the affinity groups who collectively participate in computing education research, specifically targeting issues related to preparing students who are computationally fluent, and building and enhancing the computing professional workforce, which includes research software engineers, research data science professionals, advanced cyberinfrastructure systems professionals, and others. The NSF showcase provides a way for many computing educators to see NSF projects in progress, to interact with NSF program officers, to learn about NSF programs, and discuss potential projects for funding. The SIGCSE Technical Symposium is regularly attended, with pre-pandemic attendance at 1,900 attendees. The conference primarily serves a US audience with around 90% of the attendees being from the US with an additional 5% from Canada and other attendees from Europe, Asia, and Australasia primarily. The NSF Showcase is funded by the NSF IUSE: EHR Program, which supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students.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.
