Hello everyone, On Monday, April 20, Los Alamos National Laboratory is hosting the annual New Mexico SuperComputing Challenge. Groups of New Mexico high school and middle school students will be at LANL that day to receive awards for their participation in the year long program and to tour the facilities. http://www.challenge.nm.org/
We traditionally include a tour of the Access Grid. We like to include some remote sites so that the students can see what a true collaboration looks like. Last year we invited some college recruiters to participate via Access Grid. This gave the colleges a chance to recruit some top notch students, and it gave the students a chance to talk with faculty about their institutions and about college in general. In previous years we have had students at colleges and universities talk to the SuperComputer challenge participants via Access Grid about their college experiences. I'd like to invite your institution to participate this year, all types of discussions are welcome! If you would like for your recruiters to get involved, that is great! Or if you have some students who might like to participate in an informal discussion with the SCC participants, that would be awesome! Or if you can simply run your AG node and talk briefly to the students about your AG facility and what you are using it for, that would be a tremendous help! We are looking for all types of interaction, so if you can participate in any way, we would be greatly appreciative. Currently, we have 3 sessions, each is about 45 minutes long. Session 1 is from 10:00am - 10:45am MDT Session 2 is from 11:00pm - 11:45pm MDT Session 3 is from 2:00 - 2:45 MDT If you could please RSVP and let me know if you would like to participate and which session(s) you can attend. We'll be using the LANL venue off of the Argonne Lobby/Government Institutions Lobby. Thanks!
