Welcome to the Gator Computing Program, students!
We are happy to have you here on campus.
Here's a brief introduction to the program before we start activities.
This room we're in now will serve as your "home base" during GCP.
You'll start each morning here.
That doesn't mean this is the only place you'll see.
You will also have your own computer space in a lab, and venture all over campus to see
exciting labs during your two weeks here.
First things first though.
You'll be getting to know your teaching assistants, or "TAs," very well during GCP.
If you have questions about your projects, the program, your schedule, or UF in general...ask
them!
TAs: Take a moment to introduce yourselves.
During the program you should also familiarize yourself with your peers.
Make sure you introduce yourselves and collaborate.
GCP students last year became good friends.
Now on to more details about the program.
Some days, lunch and snacks will be catered in this room, and some days you can eat at
places around campus.
Make sure to stick to the program schedule and stick together with the group when you're
eating near the Hub or at the Reitz Union.
You're going to hear some pretty cool talks from faculty while you are here.
Make sure you're being respectful, paying attention, and staying off your phone.
You are also going to see some cutting-edge research labs on campus where you will be
able to ask questions.
And you will get to load up in the vans and travel across town to see UF's supercomputer--HiPerGator.
You will get the full tour of UF's Data Center, HiPerGator, and you'll also get to experience
the boundary layer wind tunnel.
Experts will be there to teach you about how things work and to answer your questions.
Speaking of questions...
All of the programming lessons, tours, and lectures during your time here are to inspire
and prepare you for the projects you will work on during the second week; which you'll
present on the last day of the program.
And, you can invite your parents and friends to watch.
Later today, you will be given a list of project ideas.
Keep these in mind throughout the program so you can choose a topic you're interested
in.
You will have plenty of time to work on your project during the second week of the program
and you'll have access to the TAs and UFIT staff members for
any help you might need.
We know you are going to learn a lot and have fun during the Gator Computing Program.
Make the most of your time here!
We can't wait to get started :)
