SUMMARY:Next Generation Pathways to Computing: Bridging the Diversity Gap 
 in High-Performance Computing Education
DESCRIPTION:Alison Melton, Verónica G. Melesse Vergara, and Suzanne Parete
 -Koon (Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL))\n\nComputer and computational
  science are pivotal within the evolving STEM landscape. The projected gro
 wth of STEM careers, especially in computing, underscores their significan
 ce. However, the underrepresentation of minorities and women in computing 
 fields remains a challenge. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) hosted on
 e of five U.S. Department of Energy Workforce Development for Teachers and
  Scientists Pathways Summer Schools in Summer 2023. The Next Generation Pa
 thways to Computing (NGP) program brings high school students to ORNL to l
 earn about careers in computing and work towards inspiring diverse partici
 pation. The five-week program curriculum imparted foundational coding skil
 ls, practical insights into HPC, and allowed experiential learning under O
 RNL staff guidance. NGP reached out to underserved schools in the East Ten
 nessee region by offering resources for equitable access. NGP exemplified 
 a comprehensive approach to bridging the diversity gap in computing, nurtu
 ring a future generation of STEM leaders equipped with essential skills an
 d diverse perspectives.\n\nTag: Education, Heterogeneous Computing, Reprod
