SC09 Education Workshop @ Spelman

What are the SC Education
Program Summer Workshops?

The SC Education Program provides week-long, hands-on, tutorial style workshops with
topics which cover computational methods in a variety of science disciplines and parallel
and cluster computing. The material is designed for undergraduate faculty from a variety of disciplines who would like to add computational
methods to their undergraduate teaching.

Purpose

The purpose of this workshop is to expose participants to and inspire them with new
techniques, teaching materials, and applications to use computational models in the
undergraduate curriculum. By bringing faculty from different disciplines together so that
they can learn how to incorporate computational models into their classrooms and
research projects, it will advance the use of computing in undergraduate science
education. We desire to have participants from a broad range of disciplines, including
computer science, mathematics, and the natural sciences.


Who Should Come?

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

What is the cost?

Participants are asked to provide a fully refundable* deposit of $150 (payable by check or money order) and will be required to cover their own travel expenses and incidental
expenses. Room, board, all meals except Wednesday lunch and dinner, are covered by the SC Education Program.

How Do I Get to Spelman College?

We are located five minutes west of downtown Atlanta in the Atlanta University Center, just a short drive from I-20.
