Challenge #1 …
Workshop projects show how “less is more”
Can Cyberinfrastructure
projects avoid showing that “more is less”?
You can help!

History
“EOT-PACI has created and sustained a collaborative community of computational science researchers and educators with common goals and leveraged resources. Few of these partners had interacted, much less collaborated, prior to the grant.”
Project Categories (Brochure)–Professional Development–Mentoring–Learning Material Development–Software and Online Information –Youth Programs–Diversity/Accessibility–Conferences/Collaborative
Experiences–Metrics & Evaluation–Online Guides and Reports

EPIC Goal
to build human capacity by creating awareness of the opportunities afforded through Cyberinfrastructure and by educating and training a diverse group of people in all stages of life from K-12 to professional practice to fully participate in the Cyberinfrastructure community as developers, users, and leaders.

Challenges
• Large scale future funding?
• National impact
• Philosophical Question: what should we teach/what will they learn?
