0125272 Schroeder This award is to the University of Alaska-Anchorage to support the activity described below for 36 months. The proposal was submitted in response to the Partnerships for Innovation Program Solicitation (NSF 0179).PartnersThe partners for this activity include the University of Alaska-Anchorage (Lead Institution), University of Alaska-Fairbanks, University of Hawaii-Manoa, University of Washington, Ford Motor Company, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, The Boeing Company, Kimberly Clark, Alcoa, IBM Kirkland-Washington, Bureau of Reclamation, Microsoft, Flour Daniel, Alaska Technical Center, Northwest Arctic Borough School District, White Swan High School, Confederate Bands and Tribes of the Yakama Nation, NANA/DOWL Engineers, and NANA/Colt Engineers.Proposed ActivitiesThe effort will bring computer technology to remote communities, provide high school students with a vision of a career in science and engineering, connect students with professionals in industry and academia, provide industrial partners with a technologically trained workforce, and develop the enabling infrastructure necessary to sustain the effort long-term.Proposed InnovationThe academic institutions will establish a modern computer laboratory with space, utilities, and Internet access in a remote rural community in each state in the partnership. High school juniors and seniors in a college-ready high school curriculum will be targeted. These students will be given state-of-the-art hardware and software training. Students will have summer internships with partner companies where they will be paid cash as well as scholarship money with any of the partner universities. The students will attend a summer bridging program the summer after graduation from high school to prepare them for college. The industry partners provide $500,000 annually for the bridging program.Potential Economic ImpactThe program will provide hundreds of high school students with access to technology-based education and jobs. These students are from sparsely populated rural states, and most are Indigenous Americans. The economic benefits result from a highly skilled workforce for the industry partners.Potential Societal ImpactThe targeted students are Indigenous Americans from rural Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington. The program can be replicated for any region with an indigenous population. More than 300 students have "graduated" from the internship program in the past. The current award will provide needed resources to attract more students, provide more computer facilities, and interact with more industrial partners.

0125272 Schroeder 该奖项授予阿拉斯加大学安克雷奇分校，用于支持下述活动 36 个月。 该提案是为了响应创新计划征集伙伴关系 (NSF 0179) 而提交的。 合作伙伴 本次活动的合作伙伴包括阿拉斯加大学安克雷奇分校（牵头机构）、阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校、夏威夷大学马诺阿分校、华盛顿大学、福特汽车公司、喷气推进实验室、波音公司、金佰利克拉克、美国铝业公司、IBM 柯克兰-华盛顿、垦务局、微软、 Flour Daniel、阿拉斯加技术中心、西北北极区学区、白天鹅高中、Yakama Nation 的邦联乐队和部落、NANA/DOWL 工程师和 NANA/Colt 工程师。拟议的活动这项工作将把计算机技术带到偏远社区，提供有志于从事科学和工程职业的高中生，将学生与工业界和学术界的专业人士联系起来，为工业合作伙伴提供经过技术培训的劳动力，并开发维持可持续发展所需的基础设施拟议的创新 学术机构将在合作伙伴关系中的每个州的偏远农村社区建立一个现代化的计算机实验室，提供空间、公用设施和互联网接入。 大学预备高中课程的高中三年级和四年级学生将成为目标。 这些学生将接受最先进的硬件和软件培训。 学生将在合作伙伴公司进行暑期实习，在那里他们将获得现金以及任何合作大学的奖学金。 学生们将在高中毕业后的那个夏天参加暑期衔接课程，为上大学做好准备。 行业合作伙伴每年为过渡计划提供 50 万美元。潜在的经济影响该计划将为数百名高中生提供基于技术的教育和工作机会。 这些学生来自人口稀少的农村州，大多数是美国原住民。 经济利益来自于行业合作伙伴的高技能劳动力。潜在的社会影响目标学生是来自阿拉斯加、夏威夷和华盛顿农村的美国原住民。 该计划可以在任何有土著人口的地区进行复制。 过去已有300多名学生从实习项目中“毕业”。 目前的奖项将提供所需的资源，以吸引更多的学生，提供更多的计算机设施，并与更多的行业合作伙伴互动。
