News and Highlights

Thanks to the success of last year’s Summer Code Camp, CI-WATER is once again inviting high school students to solve real-life code challenges in a day-long event at Utah State University (USU).

The 2014 USU Summer Code Camp will be on Thursday, July 10. Participants in this free, one-day event will learn and practice computer coding, work in teams and compete in a fun coding challenge. CI-WATER project faculty and graduate students facilitating the event will be on hand to guide and answer questions, and a tour of the USU high-performance computing and date centers is included.

Last year’s USU code camp was rated highly by the participants, who cited the real-world challenges, collaboration and quality of instruction (and great pizza!) as highlights.
