This award is to the Cornell National Supercomputer Facility (CNSF) in collaboration with the NAtional Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and the University of Alabama at Huntsville for the 1991-1994 SuperQuest Program. This is a three year continuing award to support the integration of computational science and its tools into the high school science and mathematics curriculum. A national competition for high school students and teachers was held. These students proposed the investigation of a scientific problem and its solution using supercomputing resources. Judging was based on scientific content, effectiveness of computational approach, creativity and clarity. The proposals were eleven winning teams attending CNSF; for teams at NCSA and three teams at the University of Alabama. Each team will consist of three-four students and a teacher. The proposed topics range from the extinction of the dinosaurs to a study of traffic jams to preserving organs at low temperatures. The SuperQuest teams will receive training in basic supercomputer usage, programming languages, computer graphics and basic numerical methods. They will be aided by supercomputer experts in developing and implementing their programs on the centers' supercomputers. Workstations will be donated to the schools and the winning teams will receive technical assistance in setting up the remote computing sites. The students will deliver scientific talks on their projects at professional scientific meetings.

该奖项授予康奈尔国家超级计算机设施 (CNSF) 与国家超级计算应用中心 (NCSA) 和阿拉巴马大学亨茨维尔分校合作开展的 1991-1994 SuperQuest 计划。 这是一个为期三年的持续奖项，旨在支持将计算科学及其工具整合到高中科学和数学课程中。 举办了全国高中生和教师竞赛。 这些学生提出使用超级计算资源来调查科学问题及其解决方案。 评审基于科学内容、计算方法的有效性、创造力和清晰度。 提案是参加 CNSF 的 11 支获奖队伍； NCSA 团队和阿拉巴马大学的三个团队。 每个团队将由三到四名学生和一名老师组成。 提议的主题范围从恐龙灭绝到交通拥堵研究再到低温保存器官。 SuperQuest 团队将接受超级计算机基本使用、编程语言、计算机图形学和基本数值方法方面的培训。 他们将得到超级计算机专家的帮助，在中心的超级计算机上开发和实施他们的程序。 工作站将捐赠给学校，获胜团队将获得建立远程计算站点的技术援助。 学生将在专业科学会议上就他们的项目发表科学演讲。
