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

For the first time in the DSC series since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, Lab mentors visited the college campus to provide in-person guidance for five teams of UC Merced students.

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.

CASC and the Data Science Institute welcomed a new academic partner to the 2021 Data Science Challenge program: the University of California Riverside campus.

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

LLNL and Purdue are partnering to speed up drug design using computational tools under the Accelerating Therapeutic Opportunities in Medicine project.

UC Merced students engaged with LLNL mentors and peers to address a challenge problem, using machine learning to identify potentially hazardous asteroids that could pose a threat to humanity.

The first-ever virtual Girls Who Code – "Big" program (a collaboration between LLNL, the Livermore Lab Foundation, and the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District) recently wrapped up.

At the 2020 LLNL Computing Virtual Expo, Marisa Torres described the Girls Who Code program’s activities, how it's closing the technology gender gap, and ways to get involved.

LLNL’s Computing Directorate heads to the 32nd annual Supercomputing Conference (SC20) held virtually on November 9–19. Although the format is different this year, we’re turning out in full force.

More than 150 girls participated in the San Joaquin Expanding Your Horizons (SJEYH) conference via Zoom last month. LLNL Computing staff were among the online speakers.

LLNL will provide significant computing resources to students and faculty from 9 universities that were newly selected for participation in the Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program (PSAAP).

This summer, the Computing Scholar Program welcomed 160 undergraduate and graduate students into virtual internships. The Lab’s open-source community was already primed for student participation.

Computing’s summer hackathon was held virtually on August 6–7 and featured presentations from teams who tested software technologies, expanded project features, or explored new ways of analyzing data.

In this year's Data Science Challenge with UC Merced, 21 students developed machine learning models capable of differentiating potentially explosive materials from other types of molecules.

This summer, LLNL will offer a remote program allowing students to carry out research projects by telecommuting, if their original project can be modified for online work.

The university and LLNL open a door to research collaborations as well as job and internship opportunities for students and alumni.
