Science Fair

This event is a whole-day event for children and young people, full of entertainment where many fields of science and technology will be presented in an interesting and interactive way. It is held in Bratislava, Slovakia every year. This will be its 4th occurrence. The event participation will be handled by the Slovakian partner; the Service and Operations Center of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS). We plan to attend the fair with a stand focused on presenting the principles and benefits of supercomputers in an easy to grasp manner. The attendees will have a chance to use their supercomputer Aurel via a remote connection, to solve some interesting tasks (like password cracking), and SAS will present a functional model of a supercomputer as well. superheroes4science.eu
