Abstract

The Indiana University Pervasive Technology Institute has engaged for several years in K-12 Education, Outreach and Training (EOT) events related to technology in general and computing in particular. In each event we strive to positively influence children's perception of science and technology. We view K-12 EOT as a channel for technical professionals to engage young people in the pursuit of scientific and technical understanding. Our goal is for students to see these subjects as interesting, exciting and worth further pursuit. By providing opportunities for pre-college students to engage in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) activities first hand, we hope to influence their choices of careers and field-of-study later in life. In this paper we give an account of our experiences with providing EOT: we describe several of our workshops and events; we provide details regarding techniques that we found to be successful in working with both students and instructors; we discuss program costs and logistics; and we describe our plans for the future.

开展K-12外展活动，唤起人们对信息技术、科学和先进技术的早期兴趣

印第安纳大学普及技术研究所多年来一直从事与一般技术特别是计算机相关的K-12教育、推广和培训(EOT)活动。在每一个活动中，我们都努力积极影响孩子们对科学和技术的看法。我们将K-12 EOT视为技术专业人员吸引年轻人追求科学和技术理解的渠道。我们的目标是让学生认为这些学科有趣、令人兴奋，值得进一步研究。通过为大学预科学生提供第一手参与科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)活动的机会，我们希望影响他们以后对职业和研究领域的选择。在本文中，我们介绍了我们提供EOT的经验:我们描述了我们的几个研讨会和活动;我们提供有关技术的细节，我们发现是成功的与学生和教师合作;我们讨论项目成本和后勤;我们描述了我们对未来的计划。
