(Left photo) The Defense Department's (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program office (HPCMP) created the Joint Educational Opportunities for Minorities (JEOM) program for students from underrepresented groups, who are pursuing studies in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The goal of this program is two-fold: 1) ensure a competitive and diverse workforce within the DoD by offering training, mentorship, and career development for undergraduate students in STEM disciplines and 2) to provide opportunities for students who have an interest in computational science and high performance computing challenges important to DoD. Exhibiting this year with DoD during the BEYA STEM Expo were Ms. Pamela Gilliam (left [BDPA-DC]) and Ms. Deborah Schwartz (right). Ms. Gilliam and Ms. Schwartz support and manage HPCMP's Oversight & Outreach Program respectively, and strongly encourage BDPA Student Members and qualified students to apply well before their March 22, 2010 suspense date. (Right photo) Area students visit one of the U.S. Navy's exhibits to play video games (Guitar Hero shown above), a variety of war games, robotics, and flight simulators. Photo credits: bdpatoday |
