The Other Initiatives category contains blog articles on other activities, programs and initiatives related to HPC education, training and outreach.
If you’ve been ever involved in High Performance Computing training as a trainer or as a participant, then you are probably familiar with main challenges we meet. How to address the broad range of learners experience? How to make the materials more accessible to different groups of researchers? How to include multiple hands-on exercises within a limited time frame? Continue reading “HPC Carpentry: Important step forward in HPC training”
As a mathematician trained in supercomputing, I always had this dream of delivering scientific lectures to the public in an exciting way that captured minds and kept them interested to the end. Continue reading “HPC Outreach Activities at KAUST”
Computer science initiatives like code.org and the hour of code have made great progress in increasing the numbers and the diversity of students taking the AP computer science exam. But despite this revolution in computer science education, high school STEM courses like physics, chemistry and other subjects are typically still taught without integrating computation. Continue reading “The STEMcoding project: Keep it simple, keep it fun”
This BoF had 4 main speakers, Victor Sande, Matthew Curry, Maciej Szpindler and David McLeod and was moderated by Alexander Ditter. Slides from the presentations can be found here.
