The TeraGrid announces the 2007 Cyberinfrastructure Impact Competition to promote and enhance high school and undergraduate education in computational science and HPC.

The phrases “cyberinfrastructure” and “grid computing” are being used around the world to describe the way researchers and educators are connected through gigabit-per-second networks with teraflop computing systems, petabyte data collections, scientific collaboratories, and the latest software tools for scientific analysis and visualization in all disciplines

The purpose of the Cyberinfrastructure Impact Competition is to encourage the development of an interest  in young minds for future careers in computational science and high performance computing.

TeraGrid is an example of the state-of-the-art in cyberinfrastructure that is touching our lives in many ways through the application of its grid computing capabilities to science and education. But what does cyberinfrastructure mean to you and to others in your community? How will cyberinfrastructure benefit scientists, teachers, students, policy makers and the general population? What opportunities for you and others around the world come to mind as you think about cyberinfrastructure?

Share your ideas and talents and be recognized for your creativity!
Tell the world how cyberinfrastructure touches your life today and tomorrow, and how it can benefit scientific discovery, learning, and the global community.

Prizes (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) will be awarded in each category, high school and undergraduate The 1st Place prizes will be all expense paid trips to Supercomputing 2007 – the annual premiere high performance computing conference – to be held November 10-16 in Reno, Nevada.
