Supercomputing Challenge Awards
In addition to being an educational experience, the Challenge is a
competition. It is designed to encourage
students to perform at the highest possible level. While we recognize
that many first-time participants may feel as though they cannot compete
with more experienced students, there are many levels of recognition that
can be attained for participants of all level.
As the year goes on, we continue to solicit awards from various
sponsors so this list will probably change by April.
First Place Team: Each student on the team will receive a
$1,000.00 Savings Bond. The teacher will receive a donation of
computer equipment for their use in their classroom. Second Place Team: Each student on the team will receive a
$500.00 Savings Bond. The teacher will receive a donation of
computer equipment for their use in their classroom. Honorable Mention Teams: Each student and sponsoring teacher
on the team will receive a Gift.
The following are anticipated as additional awards consisting of trophies and/or plaques:
