LLNL STEM Day ignites curiosity and shapes futures, delivering high-quality science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education to more than 1,935 students—and the impact keeps growing.

More than 50 students from five Livermore middle schools visited LLNL on April 18 for Dream Day, an event filled with hands-on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) activities.

About two dozen students from Tracy, California, visited LLNL on March 21 for a day of interactive enrichment activities as part of “Dream Day,” an event designed to introduce students to Lab careers and science.

Beyond the El Capitan headlines, SC24 provided an opportunity for Livermore staff to reach the international HPC community.

LLNL welcomed more than 240 students and chaperones from the Central Valley to the second ‘STEM Day at the Lab’ in 2024. STEM Day is a biannual daylong interactive event for students (grades 5-8) from underserved communities.

High school students from Livermore and Tracy recently visited LLNL bringing participants from the two cities’ Girls Who Code programs together on-site for group activities and tours.

The event gave local middle schoolers a taste of what computer scientists do at the Lab.

The Lab is hosting two related WiDS events: First is a datathon on February 28, then the annual regional conference on March 13. These hybrid events are free and open to everyone.

Thirteen students traveled to Livermore in early December for a computer science course simulating pond ecology and evolution.

Lawrence Livermore is celebrating nearly a decade of bringing the Girls Who Code program to local middle and high schools. Since standing up the effort in 2016, more than 900 students have participated in the clubs, and the offerings continue to expand.

This season’s hackathon featured Lab improvement projects, work tasks, and personal enrichment.

After 10 years and 33 hackathons, nothing can stop this beloved tradition.

With a history of student participation and committee service, LLNL computer scientist Kathleen Shoga chaired this year’s competition.

Computing’s newest internship program focuses on DevOps methodologies. The inaugural class of 2021 built a persistent data services provisioning application that will soon assist real Livermore Computing users.

Each new season brings another hackathon, and Computing’s 2021 summer event took place on August 12–13.
