Program Spotlight

Congratulations to the Supercomputing Challenge celebrating their 20th year of providing exciting opportunities for NM students!

The Supercomputing Challenge is an exciting program that offers a truly unique experience to students in our state. The Supercomputing Challenge is a program encompassing the school year in which teams of students and a sponsoring teacher define and work on a single computational project of their own choosing. Throughout the program, help and support are given to the teams by their project advisors and the Supercomputing Challenge organizers and sponsors. The Supercomputing Challenge is open to all interested students in grades 6 through 12 on a non-selective basis. The program has no grade point, class enrollment or computer experience prerequisites.
