SC Education: Summer Programs

Just received this via email and thought I'd pass along for any K-16 faculty interested in SC Education. Mechelle : ) 

Registration for the  Supercomputing Conference Education program summer
workshops is now open.  Register at http://sc-education.org/workshops/

The SC Education program provides week-long workshops in High
Performance Computing (HPC) education and HPC curriculum development
for faculty, administrators, and students.  These week-long workshops
focus on curriculum change and professional development derived from
today's high performance computing environments.

Topics for the 2008 summer workshop series include:
   * Applications of HPC, Grids, and Parallel Computing to Science Education
   * Computational Biology for Biology Educators
   * Computational Chemistry for Chemistry Educators
   * Computational Physics and Parallel Environments
   * High Performance Computing in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences
   * High Performance Computing in Nano and Bio Sciences Research and
   Education

Participants are asked to pay a registration fee of $150 and will be
required to cover their own travel expenses.  Room, board, and other
costs associated with the workshop are covered by the SC Education
Program.

The SC Education Program summer workshops are also open to high school
teachers collaborating with college faculty.  Educators in all fields of
science, technology, engineering, mathematics, humanities, arts and
social  sciences are welcome, especially those from minority-serving
institutions.  Faculty are encouraged to mentor and support
undergraduate and graduate students as part of their workshop team.

The SC08 Education Program is a year-long program working with
undergraduate faculty, administrators, college students, and
collaborating high school teachers to integrate computational science
and high performance computing and communications technologies
highlighted through the SC Conference into the preparation of future
scientists, technologists, engineers, mathematicians and teachers.
