[TriLUG] [OT] Fw: [SC Ed] Supercomputing Conference Education Program summer workshops

[Kevin Hunter]

Hi Trilug,

Slightly OT, perhaps ...

I don't know how many of you are SC and education types, but
registration has begun for the 2008 summer workshop season. If you are
interested in High Performance Computing, Grid computing, science
education in HPC context (biology, physics, chemistry, nano, etc.) then
consider signing up for a workshop.

Details below ...

workshops

Please help to spread the word.

Registration for the SC08 Education Program Summer workshops is now open
(See http://sc-education.org/workshops).  Two recent additions include
the curriculum development workshop at LSU and the Nano and Bio sciences
workshop at UTEP.

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 Comp. to Science Education
    - Jun 15 - Jun 21  	Navajo Technical College
    - Jul 6 - Jul 12 	Grand Valley State University
    - Jul 20 - Jul 26 	NCSA ACCESS DC
    - Aug 10 - Aug 16 	University of Oklahoma
  * Computational Biology for Biology Educators
    - Jun 2 - Jun 6  	University of Illinois at
    - Jul 13 - Jul 19 	Houston Community College System
  * Computational Chemistry for Chemistry Educators
    - Jun 1 - Jun 7  	University of Puerto Rico - Rio Piedras
  * Computational Physics and Parallel Environments
    - Jun 1 - Jun 7  	Kean University
  * HPC in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences
    - Jul 27 - Aug 2  	UIUC
  * Integrating Computational Science into the Undergraduate Curriculum
    - Jun 8 - Jun 14  	Louisiana State University
  * HPC in Nano and Bio Sciences Research and Education
    - Jun 22 - Jun 28  	University of Texas at El Paso
    - Jun 29 - Jul 5 	CeNAT San Jose, Costa Rica

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 associate with the workshop are covered by the SC Education
Program.

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.
