SuperQuest: The North Carolina Connection

该奖项支持北卡罗来纳州的超级任务竞争， 1991. 比赛的目的是介绍 将计算科学引入各级教育的课堂 并鼓励更多学生对学习和职业的兴趣， 科学、工程和数学。 所有的高中在 北卡罗来纳州被邀请参加比赛。 的 参赛队伍由四名学生及两名教师组成。 主题将是一个科学合理的， 计算上具有挑战性的问题，他们可以使用 北卡罗来纳州超级计算机中心的超级计算机资源 中心（NCSC）。 将有五支获胜的队伍。 这些团队将 1991年6月在NCSC参加为期两周半的暑期学院。 在夏季学院期间，20名学生和10名教师将 接受过使用NCSC超级计算资源和图形的培训 NCSC提供的工作站来设计计算解决方案 他们提出的问题。

This award supports the North Carolina SuperQuest competition for 1991. The objective of the competition is to introduce computational science into the classroom at all educational levels and to encourage more student interest in studies and careers in science, engineering and mathematics. All of the high schools in North Carolina were invited to enter the competition. The competing teams will consist of four students and two teachers. The subject matter will be a scientifically sound and computationally challenging problem that they can solve using the supercomputing resources at the North Carolina Supercomputing Center (NCSC). There will be five winning teams. These teams will attend a 2 and 1/2 week summer institute at NCSC in June, 1991. During the Summer Institute the 20 students and 10 teachers will be trained to use the NCSC supercomputing resources and graphics workstations available at NCSC to design a computational solution to the problem they have proposed.
