SuperQuest

SuperQuest

SuperQuest is an American computational competition for high school students. Computational projects are proposed by various high school teams. An expert panel evaluates all of the entries (proposals) and selects about four winning teams for each participating center. There are four centers participating in the SuperQuest program.

The winning teams attend a three week SuperQuest summer institute (typically in July) at one of the participating supercomputing centers. The students learn about supercomputing, work with mentors and work on implementing their projects on a supercomputer.

The winning teams are provided with a workstation in their schools and are given access to the supercomputers through the internet. The teams continue working on their projects for a year. In 1988, a SuperQuest team from the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology won a supercomputer, an ETA10P.

SuperQuest is funded by the National Science Foundation. Many industrial partners have also contributed to this program.
