SuperQuest: The North Carolina Connection

该奖项支持1991年北卡罗莱纳超级探索竞赛。竞赛的目的是将计算科学引入各个教育层次的课堂，并鼓励更多学生对科学、工程和数学方面的研究和职业产生兴趣。北卡罗莱纳州所有的高中都被邀请参加比赛。参赛队伍将由四名学生和两名教师组成。该主题将是一个科学合理且具有计算挑战性的问题，他们可以使用北卡罗来纳超级计算中心（NCSC）的超级计算资源来解决这个问题。将有五支队伍获胜。这些小组将于1991年6月在国家科学中心参加为期两周半的暑期研修。在暑期课程期间，20名学生和10名教师将接受培训，使用NCSC的超级计算资源和图形工作站，为他们提出的问题设计计算解决方案。

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.
