Panya Bhinder’s love for science and technology began as a high school student at Columbus Academy, where physics and its processes captivated her. Like many high school students, she was unsure of how to translate her interests into a potential career.
This summer middle school students from across the state attended the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s (OSC) Youth Watershed Summer Institute, which offered students the opportunity to collect and analyze data from a local creek, create their own watersheds and learn fundamental computer and analytical skills. The program helped students understand human impacts on biological systems, water chemistry and the importance of habitat to a system’s survival.
The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) doubled enrollment in its Summer Institute (SI) this year to offer more Ohio teens the opportunity to learn how to use high performance computing skills in topical STEM areas such as data analysis, machine learning and cybersecurity. During the program students attended tours of research facilities and museums, collaborated in teams to complete STEM projects and engaged in social activities such as soccer and volleyball.
Eighteen middle school girls from across the state attended the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s Young Women’s Summer Institute in July. Over the course of the one-week camp, the girls collected data from Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park and worked in groups to analyze water quality issues in Ohio’s watersheds.
This year 20 high school students attended the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s (OSC) Summer Institute (SI), where they worked in teams to complete STEM projects, attended tours of research facilities and museums around The Ohio State University’s Columbus campus and participated in social activities such as basketball and board games.
Since 1989, OSC's Summer Institute program has inspired Ohio high school students like Elle Howard to pursue higher education and careers in STEM fields.
Through hands-on experience, students learn computer science, programming and teamwork at OSC's two-week Summer Institute.
For more than 20 years, the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) has been sponsoring the Young Women’s Summer Institute (YWSI) to engage Ohio’s middle school students in STEM education topics. Although the Center had planned to offer the week-long event in person in 2021, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic prompted a pivot to an online format.
A dozen Ohio middle-school girls are spending part of their summer at the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s (OSC) 19th annual Young Women’s Summer Institute (YWSI), July 14-20 at The Ohio State University.
YWSI participants investigate complex science problems while discovering career opportunities in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
Eighteen Ohio high school students will be spending two weeks this summer at the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s 30th annual Summer Institute, June 16-28 at The Ohio State University. The students will investigate complex science and engineering problems while discovering career opportunities in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
