SC11 Education Program, Sat Nov 12 - Tue Nov 15 2011, Seattle WA

APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED to Sunday August 7 2011!

INTERNATIONAL APPLICATIONS WELCOME!

Submission website:

https://submissions.supercomputing.org/

Applications deadline: Sunday, August 7, 2011 Acceptance Notifications:
Monday, August 22, 2011

The Education Program is hosting a four-day intensive program that will
immerse participants in High Performance Computing (HPC) and Computational
and Data Enabled Science and Engineering (CDESE).

The program will begin Saturday, November 12 (early morning) and end
Tuesday, November 15 (late afternoon).

The focus of the program is to introduce HPC, CDESE and computational tools,
resources and methods to undergraduate faculty and to pre-college educators
in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines, as
well as to undergraduate and graduate students considering careers teaching
in STEM disciplines.

This is an excellent opportunity for you and your institution to adopt
existing and emerging techniques and technologies into your local STEM
curriculum.

The program also assists educators in integrating HPC, CDESE and
computational techniques into their classrooms and research programs.

This year's Education Program will include a variety of plenary sessions,
guided tours of the exhibit hall, breakout sessions, focused hands-on
tutorials and birds-of-a-feather gatherings, as well as formal and informal
opportunities to interact with other SC communities and exhibitors.

Preference will be given to postsecondary faculty and to teachers in
secondary school STEM programs. Students considering careers in teaching are
also encouraged to apply.

We encourage teams of up to five educators to apply.

Travel support will include airfare, hotel accommodations (double
occupancy), food, and registration. (If you choose to drive rather than fly,
we can reimburse some of that expense instead.)

The deadline for applications, including applications for travel support, is
Sunday August 7.

Selected participants will begin to be notified on or around Monday August
22.

The application requests a variety of information about your background and
needs, which will help us to assess which applicants will be best served by
this year's program.

While we are inviting applicants to register, we cannot guarantee acceptance
in advance. Historically, we have only had sufficient budget to fund a
subset of the applicants.

Because of limited seating in this four-day intensive program, we'll only be
able to accept a limited number of self-funded participants into the
program.

We encourage you to share this information with any colleagues who may also
be interested in and appropriate for this program.

The Education Program is a component of the SC11 Communities Program, which
includes Broader Engagement, which is focused on promoting participation by
traditionally underrepresented populations; the International Ambassadors
program, which encourages international participation; and the Student
Volunteers program, which provides a means for undergraduate and graduate
students to become directly involved in SC11.

may participate, visit:
