Pre-College
Opportunities offered by the Center have brought Center researchers in contact with large numbers of K-12 students and teachers (nearly 1,000 K-12 students and 150 K-12 teachers). Connections have been created with groups that historically have had little interaction with university researchers and research labs. The pre-college programs are designed to contribute to the Center goal of drawing more students into computer science and computer graphics. Emphasis is increasingly on programs that encourage underrepresented groups, such as women and minorities, to participate. The experiences gained in intensive, hands-on workshops are being distilled into interactive materials that can potentially be used by thousands of students and teachers.
3D Computer Graphics: The Workshop in Computer Graphics (High School Teachers)
Computer Science and Graphics: The Utah High School Computer Institute (High School Students)
Computer Graphics and Design: Cornell Summer Session for Design Professionals (High School Students)
Leadership and Computer Skills: The Artemis Project (Middle School Girls)
Undergraduate
Center sites have strong undergraduate (and graduate) education curricula, see Education. In addition, the Center runs educational outreach programs for undergraduates that help bring new students into the field of computer science and that encourage participation in math and science courses and related research activities.
Introduction to Computer Science: The Bridge Course (Incoming Freshmen from underrepresented groups)
Introduction to Science and Research: The Utah ACCESS Program (Incoming Freshwomen from underrepresented groups)
Academic Advising and Mentoring for Math and Science: Undergraduate Research Access (Undergraduate Students)
