Sixteen Ohio high school students are spending two weeks of their summer break investigating complex science and engineering problems, while discovering career opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. The students are attending the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s 27th annual Summer Institute from June 12-24 on the campus of The Ohio State University. Ohio Supercomputer Center staff members established Summer Institute (SI) in 1990 to provide high school students with real-world experience in the fields of high performance computing (HPC) and networking. While working in small groups, students apply the scientific method to their studies and solve complex problems using various OSC resources. OSC also invites experts from science, engineering, HPC and networking fields to speak with the students about STEM topics and careers, giving students an “insider’s” perspective into these fields.
