Welcome to the Project GUTS - Supercomputing Challenge Summer Teacher Institute
Thanks to a Google CS4HS grant and LANS (Los Alamos National Security) at LANL, we are holding our fourth annual joint professional development at Martin Speare Hall at New Mexico Tech, from July 17th - 29th. Move into Baca Hall any time after 3 PM, Sunday, to register and then we will go over to Fidel Center for an opening BBQ and introductions at 5:30.
