ABSTRACTCNS-0733419PI: Lucinda SandersInstitution: University of ColoradoTitle: NCWIT and NSF BPC Joint Meetings This project supports the organization of the annual alliance meetings of the National Center for Women in Information Technology and the NSF Broadening Participation alliance project participants. A Summit on K-12 Information Technology Education is also being held in conjunction with the other meetings. The meeting is to be held in May, 2007 in Boulder, Colorado. The National Center for Women in Information Technology is organizing the event. This meeting provides an opportunity for several groups to network and build a broader community to implement new models for broadening participation in information technology throughout the pipeline from K-12 to industry. The meeting provides an excellent mechanism to sustain and improve several well-developed communities and promote collaboration and success through participation in the community event. This award provides funding for the approximately 65 NSF Broadening Participation alliance participants. The intellectual merit of this project lies in the significant expertise involved in planning the meeting and participating in it. The meeting provides an opportunity of experienced investigators and researchers to discuss successes, failures, and lessons learned as well as the best ways to disseminate this information to broader communities. In particular, the K-12 summit provides an opportunity for the many national alliance members and partners to learn about the issues in K-12 education that impact all of their projects and to develop collaborative approaches to address the most significant areas of common concern.The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality experience for a large group of national leaders in the area of increasing participation in information technology education and career paths. Thus this project has the potential to produce new models for developing a more diverse group of students and faculty members and to advance discovery and understanding while promoting learning in the information technology disciplines. The project will also provide a better technically educated workforce to meet national security and economic priorities.

ABSTRACTCNS-0733419PI：Lucinda Sanders 机构：科罗拉多大学 标题：NCWIT 和 NSF BPC 联席会议 该项目支持组织国家信息技术妇女中心和 NSF 扩大参与联盟项目参与者的年度联盟会议。 K-12 信息技术教育峰会也将与其他会议同时举行。会议将于 2007 年 5 月在科罗拉多州博尔德举行。国家信息技术女性中心正在组织此次活动。 这次会议为多个团体提供了建立网络和建立更广泛社区的机会，以实施新模式，扩大从 K-12 到行业的整个信息技术的参与范围。该会议提供了一个很好的机制来维持和改善几个发展良好的社区，并通过参与社区活动促进合作和成功。该奖项为大约 65 名 NSF 扩大参与联盟参与者提供资金。该项目的智力优势在于规划会议和参与会议所涉及的重要专业知识。这次会议为经验丰富的调查人员和研究人员提供了一个讨论成功、失败和经验教训以及向更广泛的社区传播这些信息的最佳方法的机会。特别是，K-12 峰会为许多国家联盟成员和合作伙伴提供了一个机会，让他们了解影响其所有项目的 K-12 教育问题，并制定协作方法来解决共同关心的最重要领域。该项目更广泛的影响包括为一大批国家领导人提供提高信息技术教育和职业道路参与度的优质经验。因此，该项目有可能产生新的模型，以培养更加多样化的学生和教师群体，并在促进信息技术学科学习的同时促进发现和理解。 该项目还将提供受过更好技术教育的劳动力，以满足国家安全和经济优先事项。
