This award supports the continuation of QuarkNet, a program which provides valuable research experience to high school teachers, enabling them to teach the basic concepts of introductory physics in a context that students find exciting. QuarkNet has created an ongoing national community of researchers that include high school teachers and students as well as physicists. QuarkNet's goals are to maintain and enhance this community, to attract young students to careers in science and technology, to help develop scientific literacy in society, and to develop links between the high school classroom and experiments and techniques used to explore the scientific frontier.Key features of QuarkNet are the establishment of mentor relationships between teachers and scientists, summer research experiences for teachers, and the development of a scientific and learning community within and among centers. QuarkNet provides opportunities for teachers to become more professional, resulting in the development of programming for peers in the center, in their schools and districts and beyond. QuarkNet provides a centrally hosted, scalable, parallel cyberlearning environment as a cloud-like service. Held at university and laboratory centers, Masterclasses are institutes for teams of students who become physicists for a day, analyzing real experimental data and discussing results in videoconferences with peers and physicists. Under this three-year award, QuarkNet will support more than 50 centers participating in a variety of experiments at CERN, Fermilab and in non-accelerator and astrophysics programs. In this three-year period, the QuarkNet Program will support: (1) the local programs of the long-term QuarkNet centers for ~400 teachers per year who receive stipends; (2) a few teachers with multi-week summer research appointments to work under the guidance of physicists from a university or laboratory near their homes should new centers join the collaboration; (3) 72 teachers who will attend a one-week particle physics Data Camp at Fermilab to be immersed in an intensive experience to learn more particle physics and one that models an investigation approach to inquiry teaching and learning; (4) 72 teachers will attend a one-week Coding Camp. Coding Camps put authentic experimental data into the hands of teachers and provide the appropriate background, IT tools, training and support that allows them to successfully guide their students in classroom research investigations. (5) 32 fellows with continuing training that gives them the knowledge and skills to offer professional development experiences for other teachers; and (6) 60 teachers who will be involved with masterclasses. Over the three years (2023-2026) this project is expected to reach, in addition to the teachers, more than 150 physicists, and eventually well over 60,000 students. A portion of this effort is supported through the NSF ATLAS and CMS Operations awards.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.

该奖项支持Quarknet的延续，Quarknet的计划为高中教师提供了宝贵的研究经验，使他们能够在学生认为令人兴奋的情况下教授入门物理学的基本概念。 Quarknet创建了一个正在进行的国家研究人员社区，其中包括高中教师和学生以及物理学家。 Quarknet的目标是维护和增强这个社区，吸引年轻学生从事科学和技术的职业，以帮助发展社会的科学素养，并在高中课堂与实验和技术之间建立Quarknet的钥匙特征，Quarknet的钥匙界是教师和科学家之间的教师，研究人员之间的建立，并建立了教师和研究人员，以及一家人之间的发展，并建立了一家教师，以及一家人之间的发展，并建立了一家教师，以及一家人之间的发展。 Quarknet为教师提供了更专业的机会，从而为中心，学校和地区及其他地区的同龄人开发编程。 Quarknet提供了一种集中托管的，可扩展的，平行的网络学习环境，作为类似云的服务。大师班在大学和实验室中心举行，是一组成为物理学家，分析真实实验数据并与同伴和物理学家进行视频会议的结果的机构。根据这项为期三年的奖励，Quarknet将支持参加CERN，Fermilab以及非加速器和天体物理学计划的各种实验的50多个中心。在这三年期间，Quarknet计划将支持：（1）每年约有400名接受津贴的教师的长期Quarknet中心的当地计划； （2）一些夏季多周的教师在他们家附近的大学或实验室的物理学家的指导下工作，如果新中心加入合作； （3）72名将参加费米拉布（Fermilab）一个为期一周的粒子物理数据训练营的教师沉浸在一项密集的体验中，以学习更多的粒子物理学，并为调查方法建模研究和学习的研究方法； （4）72位老师将参加一个为期一周的编码营。 编码营将真实的实验数据掌握在教师的手中，并提供适当的背景，工具，培训和支持，使他们能够成功地指导学生进行课堂研究调查。 （5）32家研究员通过持续的培训，为他们提供了为其他老师提供专业发展经验的知识和技能； （6）60名将参与大师班的老师。在三年（2023-2026）中，该项目有望达到教师，还有150多名物理学家，最终还能达到60,000多名学生。 NSF Atlas和CMS运营奖支持了这一努力的一部分。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来支持的。
