  1. Education, Outreach and Training (EOT)andExternal Relations (ER) Scott Lathrop Area Director for EOT and ER July 2008

  2. Education • K-12 and Undergraduate professional development and curriculum development efforts • SC08 Education Program • K-12 professional development and curriculum development workshops • Post-secondary professional development and curriculum development workshops • Resources posted to Computational Science Education Reference Desk (CSERD/NSDL) • Exploring cross-listings among ACM and IEEE Digital Libraries

  3. SC07-SC10 Education Program • Multi-year, year-long, Education Programs to provide continuity and sustained impact • Integrate HPC into high school and undergraduate science, technology, engineering and mathematics classrooms • Significantly expanded digital libraries of resources for teaching and learning - CSERD/NSDL, ACM and IEEE Digital Libraries • Sponsors: ACM, IEEE, TeraGrid, NCSI, CSERD, Krell, and NSF • Recruiting faculty and institutions to innovate their curriculum

  4. Outreach • TeraGrid ‘09 - June 22-26, 2009 in DC - planning underway • Speaker’s Bureau • Professional Society Outreach Schedules • Hand-outs and flyers • Sharing of presentation slides • New programs • Campus Champions • TeraGrid Pathways

  5. Campus Champions Program • Training program for campus representatives • Campus advocate for TeraGrid and CI • TeraGrid ombudsman for local users • Quick start-up accounts for campus • TeraGrid contacts for problem resolution • We’re looking for interested campuses! • Over 12 signed on, more in discussions • Kay Hunt, Purdue - lead

  6. TeraGrid Pathways Broaden awareness of TeraGrid Campus Visits (coupled with CI Days) Professional Society Meetings Develop promotional materials Build human capacity for Terascale research In-depth consulting (5-8 consultants) TeraGrid Fellowship Program for faculty and students Mentoring Program Leverage Campus Champions Enhance the usability and access of TG via SGs Adapt Science Gateways for education Document strategies for other gateways Laura McGinnis, PSC - lead

  7. Training • Schedule of events posted on www.teragrid.org and TeraGrid User Portal • Live, synchronous and on-line tutorials • Focus on HPC training and petascale issues • Launching HPC University

  8. HPC University Goals Address research and education high performance computing (HPC) requirements for advancing scientific discovery Provide a roadmap, resources and forum to prepare current and future generations with HPC competencies Members HPC community of practitioners, DOE, OSG, State HPC Centers, TG RPs Open toall interested organizations! A Virtual Organization of people and institutions committed to preparing knowledgeable & skilled HPC professionals, researchers, educators, and students. Plans Provide a catalog of high quality, peer-reviewed training and education resources Provide a calendar of live and synchronous events Identify gaps to steer the development of new resources Support a forum for community sharing Incorporate HPC across all disciplines

  9. Cross-cutting EOT Activities • EOT Highlights 2008 document in development for SC08 • Ange Mason, SDSC - lead • Evaluation process and instruments • Common instruments for TeraGrid wide evaluations • Create database for longitudinal impact studies • Expanded community surveys and interviews and analysis to assess overall impact and how to improve programs • Gypsy Abbott, Krell - lead • Student Engagement Opportunities • Student Competitions - SC08, Sc09, etc. • Student Internships, REUs and Workshops • Graduate Research Fellows • Conferences - Grace Hopper, SACNAS, etc.

  10. Outreach Locations in 2008 Workshop Puerto Rico Conference Costa Rica

  11. External Relations • Science Highlights 2008 • In development now for SC08 • Stories are published through iSGTW, HPCWire, etc. • Michael Schneider and Shandra Williams, PSC - leads • Press releases and news stories • Planning for SC08 is underway • TeraGrid is about to exceed 1 petaflop of computing power - planning a news release with NSF • Launching an internal communications RAT • We need your recommendations for impact stories
