Location of the Workshops

The June 5-6 and July 31/August 1 workshops will be held at the UNM Science and Technology Park Rotunda which is located at 851 University St. Right near the Isotopes Ball Park. See:

It is located at the far right of the map, at the corner of Baseheart and University. Hence the rotunda. Park where the red circled P is on the map.

The primary goals of the Supercomputing Challenge Summer Teacher Institute are to:

1. introduce teachers to complexity science and computational tools and methods,
2. advance teachers' knowledge, understanding, and skills in Computer Science and STEM domains,
3. prepare teachers to support Supercomputing Challenge teams, and
4. provide ongoing support to teachers who will recruit and assist students in Computer Science and STEM endeavors.
