Solving real-world problems, the Supercomputing Challenge aims to get students interested in the STEM fields and help them grow, learn, and connect. Eldorado High School student Nancy Avila Do discusses her experience with the Supercomputing Challenge and why other students should participate.
A program for elementary, middle, and high school students, the Supercomputing Challenge asks participants to come up with a computational science project to work on all year long. Nancy explains that participating in the challenge has helped her to grow as a student as well as a team captain.
“That program allows us to work on our coding skills, our communication, our leadership skills, public speaking, critical thinking, collaboration and problem solving and I think that’s really impact me as well because all of that I’ve been able to learn from Supercomputing,” said Nancy.
