This award renews an exemplary Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site on human-centered computing research at Drexel University. The RET site nurtures a long-term partnership between Drexel and greater Philadelphia Metropolitan Area high schools and community colleges to advance science and engineering education by providing cutting-edge summer research experiences to cohorts of high school teachers and community college teachers in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The research projects will focus on machine learning to enhance human-centered computing. THE RET Site will provide hands-on experiments and regular interactions with faculty mentors who are actively involved in leading-edge research related to the RET Site theme. The participating teachers will translate their research experiences and knowledge into classroom practice by developing instructional modules and course materials that they will introduce in their classrooms and share with other teachers in their school district. These activities all contribute to the formation of a community of practice partnership between the Drexel faculty and the surrounding high schools and community colleges that has the potential to significantly enhance and improve STEM education in the greater Philadelphia area.RET participants will attend a 6-week summer institute to participate in cutting-edge research projects with mentoring from computer science faculty who lead human-centered computing projects. The projects focus on areas such as brain-computer interfaces, smart garments for health care, driver distraction, and smart textiles. The objectives of the program include: building partnerships between high schools, community colleges, industry, and the university; introducing teachers to cutting edge computer science research with social impact; informing and exciting teachers about computer science principles and computational thinking; producing learning materials which emphasize social relevance for use in high school and community college STEM curricula; and expanding the pipeline of students studying STEM and computing curricula in college. The RET Site project will provide a platform for the participating teachers to develop effective practical problem-based instructional materials and laboratory modules that they will share with other teachers in their school district during the academic year. The teacher-created modules and lessons will be disseminated locally through the Drexel REThink project web site and nationally through TeachEngineering.org, a nationally recognized repository for searchable, standards-based engineering curricula, as well as the Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles Teacher community. The RET Site project will boost the quality of instruction in the Greater Philadelphia area high schools and community colleges and strengthen the curricula. The excitement of learning about innovative computing technologies can inspire the students to pursue further computing education and related careers. The Drexel RET Site program can synergize community computer science education initiatives that lay the foundation for quality computing education in the schools and provide for the future computing workforce needs of the community.

该奖项更新了德雷塞尔大学以人为本的计算研究的示范性教师研究经验 (RET) 网站。 RET 网站培养了德雷克塞尔大学与大费城都会区高中和社区大学之间的长期合作伙伴关系，通过向高中教师和社区大学教师提供科学领域的尖端夏季研究经验来推进科学和工程教育、技术、工程和数学 (STEM)。这些研究项目将重点关注机器学习，以增强以人为中心的计算。 THE RET Site 将提供实践实验以及与积极参与与 RET Site 主题相关的前沿研究的教师导师的定期互动。参与的教师将通过开发教学模块和课程材料，将他们的研究经验和知识转化为课堂实践，并将这些模块和课程材料引入课堂并与学区的其他教师分享。这些活动都有助于在德雷克塞尔大学教师与周边高中和社区大学之间形成实践伙伴关系社区，这有可能显着增强和改善大费城地区的 STEM 教育。RET 参与者将参加为期 6 周的培训暑期学院，在领导以人为中心的计算项目的计算机科学教师的指导下参与尖端研究项目。 这些项目重点关注脑机接口、医疗智能服装、驾驶员分心和智能纺织品等领域。 该计划的目标包括： 在高中、社区学院、行业和大学之间建立伙伴关系； 向教师介绍具有社会影响力的前沿计算机科学研究；向教师介绍计算机科学原理和计算思维，并激发他们的兴趣； 制作强调社会相关性的学习材料，供高中和社区大学 STEM 课程使用； 扩大在大学学习 STEM 和计算机课程的学生渠道。 RET 站点项目将为参与教师提供一个平台，开发有效的基于实际问题的教学材料和实验室模块，他们将在学年期间与学区的其他教师共享这些材料和实验室模块。教师创建的模块和课程将通过 Drexel REThink 项目网站在本地传播，并通过 TeachEngineering.org（全国公认的可搜索、基于标准的工程课程存储库）以及大学先修计算机科学原理教师社区在全国传播。 RET Site 项目将提高大费城地区高中和社区大学的教学质量并强化课程。学习创新计算技术的兴奋感可以激发学生进一步追求计算教育和相关职业。 Drexel RET Site 计划可以协同社区计算机科学教育计划，为学校的优质计算教育奠定基础，并满足社区未来计算劳动力的需求。
