A partnership between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ASU’s College of Education, and Information Technology, Arizona EarthVision introduces Computational Science and Environmental Studies into the high school curriculum. EarthVision is an educational enrichment program designed to introduce teams of schoolteachers and students to computational science, high performance computing, and environmental modeling. The goals and objectives of the pilot fulfill the directives of the High Performance Computing Act of 1991. The Act directs Federal Agencies to expand the number of researchers, educators, and students with training in and access to high performance computing. The goals and objectives of the Arizona pilot are based on four underlying premises. The premises are based on findings summarized in the 1991 National Science Foundation (NFS) report called "Computational Science and Education: Workshop of the Role of HPCC Centers in Education."
