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.

Wyoming teachers, in conjunction with 12 partnering school districts, gain access to resources virtually. The program, called Wyoming Supporting Teachers and Computing Knowledge (WySTACK), will provide additional resources where appropriate for both teachers and their students.

Cunningham was one of 24 Wyoming K-8 teachers or librarians who participated in the first cohort of the WySLICE program, designed to integrate computer science teaching into their classes by the 2022-23 school year, per a mandate by the Wyoming Legislature.

Some Wyoming K-8 teachers and librarians already have a leg up in preparation for offering computer science education in their schools come fall 2022, when it will be required. And they have the Wyoming Hub for Computer Science Outreach at the University of Wyoming to thank.
