Supercomputing Challenge MMM, Sept 20, 2010


This really is a key event for students (and teachers and schools) interested in developing their thinking and programming skills. Please spread the word -- and support the Supercomputing Challenge if you can!

Supercomputing Challenge
Monday Morning Message, September 20, 2010

Will your school be listed on the Challenge t-shirt? If you register by today, it will! We need to send off the design to the printer tomorrow.



Registration

Please register today at http://www.challenge.nm.org/registration.shtml

167 people have signed up so far. Next we will work on the hotel housing lists which are due next week to the hotels in Socorro. Register as soon as possible so we can make reservations for you.



Next Form Teams

Once you have registered, click on the Register or Manage Teams button at: http://www.challenge.nm.org/registration.shtml Twenty-six teams have registered so far. Next week the team registration id numbers will be changed to team numbers between 1 and 100, after sorting the teams by schools.

Looking for teammates? Write up your project idea and email it to Consult and we'll forward on to the student and teacher lists.



Proposals

Start working on a proposal for your project. One as already been posted at: http://www.challenge.nm.org/proposals. Challenge teams should have proposals posted before the Kickoff Conference and need to bring a hard copy of the proposal with them to the Kickoff so that they can discuss their project with a scientist.
