The competition is designed to increase cross-unit and cross-disciplinary collaboration in strategic areas that have a strong possibility for success in building on UH ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹¡¯s strengths while addressing challenges.
Three UH ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ professors used Mana, the UH high performance computing cluster, to engage graduate students in computational science and equip them with advanced computing skills.
UH ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ teams Gary's Best and Area 51 Raid Squad won first and third prize at the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Annual Code Challenge.
The award allows the university to acquire and deploy a new community computer cluster in support of computational and data-intensive research for the 10-campus system.
Ten minutes of student work was submitted, including LAVA's Destiny-Class CyberCANOE 2D and 3D character animation scene assignments and animated short films.
Students from the Department of Information and Computer Science (ICS) won the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Annual Code Challenge, earning themselves more than $4,000 in prize money.
UH ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ researchers received a $300,000 National Science Foundation grant to evaluate a new approach to improving engagement, diversity and retention in undergraduate computer science education.
Educating more computer savvy students will have the added benefit of increasing the pipeline of STEM and cyber-educated young people flowing into the workforce.
The grant award will fund a 3-year professional development program involving collaborative projects with Âé¶¹´«Ã½²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ LIS, the Native Hawaiian Library of ALU LIKE, Inc., and professional public librarians of the Hawai?i State Public Library System.
