Shodor Scholars Program |
The Shodor Scholars Program in Computational Science (SSP) is a science, mathematics, and computing scholarship program for rising high school sophomores and juniors. The program provides a two-week, academically-intensive education and research program to a competitively-selected group of up to 15 students. Students use advanced computational science technologies, techniques, and tools to study a wide variety of scientific events. Students are provided structured and open-ended learning opportunities in computational science. The program culminates in a research opportunity in which small teams of students choose an area of scientific interest, identify an interesting problem, and then develop and communicate a computational solution to that problem. During the two week workshop, the following topics will be presented:
Students will be expected to work in teams to solve a variety of small-scale modeling problems, using a variety of computing tools. Opportunities for informal and formal presentations are provided throughout the course of the program. The final week is devoted to the identification of a larger problem, the design and implementation of a computational solution, and presentation of results.
