SDSC seeks to empower today’s science and engineering communities and help develop the next generation of scientists, technologists and engineers. To these ends, SDSC offers professional development for teachers to provide them with knowledge and pedagogy to effectively engage and prepare their students for future use of technology tools in whatever they pursue.
SDSC also offers hands-on training in computational thinking, high-performance computing and big data exploration to students and researchers at nearly every level of sophistication. SDSC “Training” for research professionals focuses on building their skills to use high-performance computing, data-intensive computing, and data analytics within their own research disciplines – from neuroscience and geophysics to the humanities, arts and social sciences.
SDSC provides professional development in versatile computing, big data and computational applications through multiple channels and partnerships. Researchers, industry professionals and college students participate in a wide range of workshops, institutes, and degree/certificate programs.
SDSC leverages its expertise and innovation to inspire the next generation of scientists, technologists and engineers. The K-12 outreach program broadly advances STEM participation through hands-on workshops, internships and academic mentorship opportunities.
