Computer Science Futures/Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Research Outreach*
Abstract
*Formerly High School Science Study Group/CS Futures. (U) The DARPA Grand and Urban Challenges inspired a number of high school-age students and exposed them to the rewards of a research career. The future of DoD research depends on the continuing engagement of these students in science- and technology-related fields. An offshoot of the Computer Science Study Group program, the Computer Science Futures program will fund efforts to identify the computer science interests of high school students, and involve them in high-level research at the high school level. In addition, the Computer Science, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Research program will develop educational practices and programs that capture the scientific and technical interests of middle and high school students through compelling projects that require computer science, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
