The goal of the "Tough as Nails, Nimble Fingers Research Practitioner Partnership (RPP)" is to develop a pipeline for computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) education within Pikeville Independent Schools and Floyd County K-8 schools. Kentucky Appalachia K-8 instructors will learn the basics of CS and CT and how to integrate these skills and concepts into existing coursework. Through the professional development and curricular model of South Fayette School District (a national leader in CS/CT education) and wider support from local company Bit Source, Pikeville Independent School district and Floyd County schools will develop their own CS/CT pathways, grounding coursework and learning competencies in the educational and economic needs of their respective communities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

“坚如钉子，灵活的手指研究从业者合作伙伴关系 (RPP)”的目标是在派克维尔独立学校和弗洛伊德县 K-8 学校内开发计算机科学 (CS) 和计算思维 (CT) 教育的渠道。 肯塔基州阿巴拉契亚 K-8 教练将学习 CS 和 CT 的基础知识以及如何将这些技能和概念整合到现有课程中。 通过南费耶特学区（CS/CT 教育领域的全国领先者）的专业发展和课程模式以及当地公司 Bit Source 的更广泛支持，派克维尔独立学区和弗洛伊德县学校将开发自己的 CS/CT 途径，为课程奠定基础该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
