The Computational Thinking-Enabled STEM Professionals' Workshop (CTSTEM-PW) is a collaboration between Education Development Center (EDC), the New Mexico Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NM-EPSCoR), Intel Corporation, Los Alamos National Laboratory, the University of New Mexico, and Navajo Technical College. It is a six-month project with two phases: (1) a workshop-planning phase, in which the project team will collaborate with key stakeholders in industry, government and academia, to adapt and apply workforce-development tools for identifying computational-thinking needs in the workplace and for assessing the alignment between those needs and available educational offerings; and (2) a workshop to share the findings from phase 1 with a group of undergraduate students from Tribal Colleges and Hispanic Serving Institutions, and to assist those students in planning for careers as CT-enabled STEM (CTSTEM) professionals. During the workshop, undergraduate students will become familiar with the major job responsibilities and work activities of CTSTEM professionals. They will also identify the courses and work-based learning opportunities available to prepare for those careers, and will develop a career plan laying out CT learning goals, necessary educational activities, and a timeline for achieving targeted objectives.In short, the CTSTEM-PW project will refine and test an innovative workshop format for helping undergraduate students from disadvantaged backgrounds to launch professional careers in the emerging field of computation-enabled science and engineering. The CTSTEM-PW project will engage key stakeholders from academia, government and industry in determining CTSTEM workforce needs, in mapping those needs onto available educational opportunities, and in translating the resulting workforce-development vision into practical career advice for a concrete group of undergraduate students. By situating the pilot workshop in New Mexico, and by partnering simultaneously both with world-class technology leaders and with local Tribal Colleges and Hispanic Serving Institutions, the CTSTEM-PW team hopes to develop a broadly-replicable template for deepening and diversifying the pool of CTSTEM professionals in economically and socially disadvantaged communities across the nation.

支持计算思维的STEM专业人员研讨会（CTSTEM-PW）是新墨西哥州教育发展中心（EDC）的合作，刺激竞争性研究的新墨西哥州实验计划（NM-EPSCOR），Intel Corporation，Los Alamos National Laboratory，New Mexico University，New Mexico University of New Mexico和New Mexico技术学院。 这是一个六个月的项目，有两个阶段：（1）一个研讨会的阶段，项目团队将与行业，政府和学术界的主要利益相关者合作，以适应和应用劳动力开发工具，以确定工作场所中的计算思维需求，并评估这些需求和可用的教育和可用的教育和可用的教育和可用的教育； （2）一个讲习班，与一群来自部落学院和西班牙裔服务机构的本科生分享第一阶段的发现，并协助这些学生以CT支持CT支持CT（CTSTEM）专业人士的职业计划。 在研讨会期间，本科生将熟悉CTSTEM专业人员的主要工作职责和工作活动。他们还将确定可用于为这些职业做准备的课程和基于工作的学习机会，并将制定一项职业计划，制定CT学习目标，必要的教育活动以及实现目标目标的时间表。简而言之，CTSTEM-PW项目将完善并测试创新的研讨会格式，以帮助从启动专业人员和启动专业人员进行研究，以帮助启动专业人员和启动专业人员。 CTSTEM-PW项目将吸引来自学术界，政府和行业的主要利益相关者，以确定CTSTEM劳动力需求，将这些需求映射到可用的教育机会，并将其由此产生的劳动力发展愿景转化为一组大学本科生的实际职业建议。 通过与世界一流的技术领导者以及当地的部落学院和西班牙裔服务机构同时合作，CTSTEM-PW团队希望开发一个广泛复制的模板，以深化和多元化的经济和社会化的社会社区，以跨越这个国家的社区。
