UW Receives NSF Grant to Train Rural Wyoming High School Teachers in Computer Science Research Applications
The University of Wyoming has received a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to provide computer science curricular models that have been tailored specifically for schools in rural communities.
The three-year, $600,000 grant will involve four UW computer science faculty members, one UW College of Education faculty member, as well as UW researchers and graduate students, who will lead 12 K-8 Wyoming teachers through a six-week research experience this summer. Goals include advancing computer research in hot-topic areas of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing; machine learning for security; augmented reality/virtual reality; and cybersecurity.
