With funding provided by the National Science Foundation through the
XSEDE program, with additional funds from NCSI,
there is no fee to attend any NCSI/XSEDE workshop this year.
Lunch and breaks during workshop hours will be provided to all participants (breakfast and
dinner typically not provided).
While we are unable to provide housing, on request we can provide a list of nearby businesses
offering lodging.
Subject to funding,
a limited number of travel scholarships may also be available as reimbursements for receipted
travel
to more distant faculty interested in attending the workshops. The scholarships will provide
partial or full reimbursement of travel costs to and from the workshops. Preference will be
given to faculty from institutions that are formally engaged with the XSEDE education program
and to those who can provide some matching travel funds. Recipients are expected to be present
for the full workshop. Those interested in a travel scholarship should complete the scholarship
application.
All other incidental expenses will be paid by participants.
Computational Biology for Biology Educators
Computation has become essential to the practice of contemporary biology. Story telling and concept maps, with the right tools, can quickly turn ideas in biology into dynamic, visual models. The storage, access, analysis and visualization of growing amounts of data, and the functional interpretation of complex biological phenomena require the use of a range of computational approaches and tools. This series of workshops aims to provide an introductory overview of computational resources and methods that can be used with students interested in biology or the biological applications of math at the secondary or introductory college level.

The formal workshop schedule will start on Monday morning and proceed through Wednesday afternoon. Participants will develop lesson plans and materials for use in their own classrooms. This workshop will benefit teachers of biology in college or high school; math and computer science faculty and teachers who want to use modeling in biology as an application area will also benefit. Thursday is optional as a project work day or getting individual help from instructors. . . .
This workshop will cover various ways that computers can be used to enhance and expand the educational experience of students enrolled in the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. Discussions and hands-on laboratory exercises on visualization, simulation, molecular modeling, and mathematical software will be presented.

The Computational Chemistry for Chemistry Educators workshop HAS BEEN CANCELLED this year. There will be two half-day workshop at the Biennial Conference on Chemical Education, see: http://www.bcce2014.org/index.html
This workshop aims to expose participants to and inspire them with new techniques, teaching materials, and applications to use computational models in the undergraduate curriculum. By bringing faculty and teachers from different disciplines together so that they can learn how to incorporate computational models into their classrooms and research projects, it will advance the use of computing in undergraduate science education. We desire to have participants from a broad range of disciplines, including computer science, mathematics, and the physical and life sciences.

The workshop consists of interactive explorations and hands-on exercises from Monday morning through Wednesday afternoon. The content will explore new techniques, teaching materials, and applications using computational models in the undergraduate curriculum, but also adaptable for secondary teachers. The workshop goal is to form collaborations between faculty and teachers from different disciplines so that they can learn to incorporate computational models into classroom and research projects to advance the use of computing in undergraduate science education, mathematics, and physical, life and sciences. Instructors also will be available for consultation on Thursday for individual help on building specific models and for working on lesson plans ideas and implementations. . . .
