Learning and Physical Challenges Program (LPCE)
The theme for the SC07 Learning and Physical Challenges Education Program is "Very Special Techies: Expressing Diversity through High Performance Computing." The purpose of the SC07 Learning and Physical Challenges Education (LPCE) program is to empower grades 7 through 16, faculty, educators, administrators, special education professionals and students with disabilities to apply computational science across a variety of content areas in classrooms.
The intended impact goes beyond LPCE participation in the conference; to foster collaborative relationships with scientists at major research centers by increasing the amount and quality of computational science education at academic institutions and schools. LPCE students frequently show combinations of the traits that provide innovations and insight – attributes needed in high performance computing (HPC) and the applications that high performance computing supports.
There are many benefits to participating in the LPCE program!
- Inspire faculty, educators, administrators, special education professionals and students with disabilities to become more involved in high performance computing.
- Expose faculty, educators, administrators, and special education professionals teaching LPCE undergraduate, high school and middle school courses in discipline-specific uses of high performance computing.
- Provide LPCE undergraduate students the opportunity to learn computational science and high performance computing from experts in the field.
- Increase the visibility of the LPCE program to the full SC conference by providing access to focal point participation throughout the conference events.
- Increase awareness of high performance computing to the administration of LPCE programs.
