N1 - Funding Information:
The ICLCS is a partnership between the Department of Chemistry, the College of Medicine, and the National Center for Supercomputing Ap- plications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC); A-C Central Community Unit School District #262; and the Regional Office of Education #38 in Illinois. The five-year ICLCS program, which is funded by the NSF Math Science Partnership program (www. nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5756), targets 110 high school chemistry teachers across rural Illinois (see Figure 1) to give them the competence and confidence to use computational tools and methods in their curriculum.

N2 - Institute for Chemistry Literacy through Computational Science (ICLCS) project, funded by US National Science Foundation (NSF), has adapted a teacher-centered approach to instruct the educational uses of computation in chemistry based researches. The Department of Chemistry, the College of Medicine, and the National Center for Supercomputing Application (NCSA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) together have brought the project. The study provides an overview of the whole programs, details on chemistry content, computational tools, example successes, challenges, and a description of a new computational workbench interface. The study also demonstrated the participants and their students' classroom experiences and also discussed the ways petascale computing will impact educational science and further promote scientific literacy.
