Classroom Support
Classroom accounts are available for instructors who want to incorporate HPC resources into courses. Our Classroom Project Resource Guide explains how to set up an account and provide easy access to students.
Youth Outreach
Ohio high school and junior high school students step into the world of high performance computing and networking during OSC's annual Summer Institute (SI) and the Youth Watershed Summer Institute (YWSI).
Summer Institute
The Summer Institute (SI) is a two-week summer camp for Ohio's brightest high school freshmen and sophomores. Participants experience the dynamic fields of high performance computing and network firsthand. OSC employs a faculty of experts in HPC, networking, engineering and the sciences to teach students computing fundamentals such as programming language, parallel processing techniques and visualization toolkits.
Youth Watershed Summer Institute
Youth Watershed Summer Institute (YWSI) is a week-long program sponsored by OSC for middle-school students in Ohio. It is designed to promote computer, math, science and engineering skills as well as provide hands-on experiences. YWSI helps students develop an interest in these subjects by allowing them to work on a practical, interesting scientific problem using the latest computer technology.
