Giving Students a Glimpse into High Performance Computing
Autor: Alexander Kolling
From May 29 to June 1, the 60th national finals of Jugend forscht (Germany’s premier youth science competition) took place. This anniversary event was held in collaboration with the Stiftung Jugend forscht e.V. at the HSU/UniBw H.
At the event, young researchers from across Germany presented their innovative projects to a jury of experts. In addition to the competition itself, the program featured an interactive exhibition on science, technology, and innovation organized by the STEM Campus. The exhibition showcased current research and development across land, sea, air, and cyber domains, making scientific practices accessible and engaging for all visitors.
The hpc.bw project was also represented at the event with two scientific research posters and a number of interactive exhibits. This time, however, the focus was not on the hardware or software of the CBRZ, but rather on topics from adult education, skills development, and e-learning. In addition to the posters on the HPC Portal and the High Performance Computing Competences Platform (HPCCP), we set up a small booth with educational materials and offered guided tours of the CBRZ to provide attendees with an up-close experience of high performance computing in action.
We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to all participants for their inspiring projects, and especially to the award winners for their outstanding achievements.
