Supercomputers in Primary School

29/06/2025

In mid-June, we visited Primary School No. 301 in Warsaw, specifically class 4d. Our representatives from the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) in Świerk – Tomasz Fruboes and Michał explained to the students how supercomputers work and talked about their applications in modern science and technology.

The students learned, among other things:
♦ what supercomputers are,
♦ how they are structured — including how many computing nodes they can contain,
♦ how important the quality of connections between them is.

The lesson also covered ways to speed up calculations, the importance of efficient algorithm decoding, and methods for increasing the density of the computational grid in the modelled area, which is crucial in scientific simulations.

Next, the students were introduced to the basics of rendering and computer animation creation, which are used, among other things, in film production and scientific visualizations.

The workshop was designed to be an inspiring lesson on modern technologies, showing how fascinating the world of advanced computing can be. Judging by the informal conversations with the teaching staff and direct feedback from the students, it seems we succeeded in sparking interest and stimulating the imagination of these young minds.

Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit 2025 – Our Summary

18/06/2025

On June 4–5, 2025, Warsaw hosted one of the largest technology events in Europe dedicated to women – the Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit. This year’s edition once again impressed with its scale, number of participants, and range of topics.

It was inspiring to see how many women – students, experts, enthusiasts, and industry leaders – form an active community in the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). Women made up the clear majority of attendees.

Booth highlights:
♦ We spoke with hundreds of participants – many of whom were encountering the topic of supercomputers and High Performance Computing (HPC) for the very first time. There was strong interest in how to access HPC resources in Poland and whether this technology has practical applications in science, business, and technology.
♦ Our booth successfully attracted attention. Informational materials were quickly picked up, and a mini-HPC model built on Raspberry Pi (in collaboration with ICM UW) sparked curiosity and conversations about “large-scale” computing.
♦ We focused on explaining, educating, and inspiring – showing that HPC is not only for scientists, but also a powerful tool for innovation in industry, medicine, climate, energy, and artificial intelligence.
♦ Awareness of the benefits and opportunities offered by computing infrastructure is still limited – especially among people at the beginning of their careers. That’s why events like this play a crucial educational and motivational role.

We would like to thank the organizers for creating this unique space for networking and inspiration. And see you next year!
