Can't wait to have your daughter as a participant! @ Stacey, this was the 59th year of the competition, and judging from the participants this year, the program is only getting bigger and better.

In about 12 years I hope it's still around for my daughter to participate in. @Rohit, thanks for reminding me about Sun's stuff. I should have included that. @Frank, Luxtera is mentioned in the story, but I do want to find out more. @SR, thanks for the tip, I’m checking into HPC stuff right now and they look interesting.

They are doing some amazing things around a free-space optical (laser) interconnect that with their shared data space programming model promises massive performance gains for HPC applications.

These kind of scientfic advances are really interesting, and I've really enjoyed reading/learning about them on this blog. Speaking of innovation, I've been working with Intel on The International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), which started yesterday in Atlanta. This year’s program will include a record number of 1,557 high school students from 51 countries presenting 1,241 projects. Female students comprise 48% of those entered in the competition, and there are a ton of cutting-edge projects being featured. If you'd like any more info, please let me know! Stacey-
