This funding establishes a new Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Site at the University of Central Florida (UCF). The primary objective of this RET site is to engage high school teachers in summer research experiences in computer vision and bio-medical engineering. The teachers will develop classroom modules and materials which will be implemented in their classrooms during the academic year. The UCF RET team has an outstanding track record of achievements in computer vision research, education, outreach, and K-12 educational initiatives, including hosting the longest continually active CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site. The team plans to provide research and professional development opportunities to high school teachers from the greater Orlando area. They particularly focus on teachers teaching Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus, AP Computer Science, AP Statistics, AP Physics, and AP or IB Biology, and the teachers interested in promoting Science Fair activities in their schools. The project will develop a community of teachers who are passionate about computer vision and imaging and who can translated this excitement to their students through engaging, high-quality inquiry learning experiences.The project is anchored by a research area this is compelling and exciting for teachers and K-12 students and by an exceptional faculty team that has demonstrated expertise in both research and K-12 outreach. The site features projects that are teacher accessible as well as connected to current research and practice. The RET site includes sound evaluation and dissemination plans that may provide models for integrating computing and computer vision fundamentals and research into advanced high school subjects, filling an important disciplinary gap. The project will provide professional development to teachers from a local metropolitan region. Teachers will develop and hone their research, communication, and presentation skills, all of which are essential to their professional growth and success. The project will build the technical capacity of teachers so they are capable of developing and implementing new, exciting inquiry-based learning activities at their schools. The project team will disseminate the project materials through the TeachEngineering digital library and build a local Curriculum Web that will be shared with a wider audience of teachers and annual workshops. The team will also disseminate project results through high-quality journals and professional meetings.

这笔资金在中佛罗里达大学 (UCF) 建立了一个新的教师研究体验 (RET) 站点。该 RET 网站的主要目标是让高中教师参与计算机视觉和生物医学工程的暑期研究经验。 教师将开发课堂模块和材料，并在学年期间在他们的课堂上实施。 UCF RET 团队在计算机视觉研究、教育、推广和 K-12 教育计划方面拥有出色的成就记录，包括主办最长的持续活跃的本科生 CISE 研究体验网站。该团队计划为大奥兰多地区的高中教师提供研究和专业发展机会。他们特别关注教授初级微积分、AP 微积分、AP 计算机科学、AP 统计学、AP 物理和 AP 或 IB 生物学的教师，以及有兴趣在学校推广 Science Fair 活动的教师。该项目将建立一个对计算机视觉和成像充满热情的教师社区，他们可以通过引人入胜的高质量探究学习体验将这种兴奋感传递给学生。该项目的基础是一个对教师而言引人注目且令人兴奋的研究领域和 K-12 学生，以及一支在研究和 K-12 推广方面展现专业知识的杰出教师团队。 该网站提供教师可以访问且与当前研究和实践相关的项目。 RET 网站包括完善的评估和传播计划，可以为将计算和计算机视觉基础知识和研究整合到高级高中科目中提供模型，从而填补重要的学科空白。 该项目将为当地大都市区的教师提供专业发展。教师将发展和磨练他们的研究、沟通和演示技能，所有这些对于他们的专业成长和成功至关重要。该项目将培养教师的技术能力，使他们能够在学校开发和实施新的、令人兴奋的探究式学习活动。项目团队将通过 TeachEngineering 数字图书馆传播项目材料，并建立一个本地课程网站，与更广泛的教师和年度研讨会受众共享。该团队还将通过高质量期刊和专业会议传播项目成果。
