> Applications deadline: Sunday, July 31, 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.
> 
> Through a special program at SC11, limited support will also be
> available for additional housing support for participants who are
> able to stay for the entire SC11 conference. If you're interested
> in this option, please indicate that in your application.
> 
> 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 for travel support is Sunday, July 31.
> 
> 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 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.
> 
> For more information on these programs and how you and/or your
> colleagues may participate, visit:
