SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Student Cluster Competition\n\n\n\nHarris, Harris, Gonzalez, F
 erhat Taleb, Carver...\n\nOur team members have never participated in a co
 mpetition like this, but are eager to rise to the challenge of IndySCC and
  gain hands-on experience with HPC. The IndySCC competition will create co
 nnections, build resumes, and develop cutting-edge skills. With an unparal
 leled commitment to student success, TAMU-CC creates life-changing opportu
 nities for students. Our diverse team brings a variety of backgrounds, exp
 eriences, and studies.\nVeronica never imagined working in technology, but
  has been in TAMU-CC IT for eleven years. Coming from a non-traditional ba
 ckground in Communication, her love for IT grew as a student employee. She
  moved through the ranks from the service desk to a systems administrator.
 \nChanelle is a Junior in Management Information Systems with a Minor in F
 inance. She obtained her Associate's in Business Administration with a 4.0
  GPA. Chanelle challenges herself as a student employee in our Application
  Administration department. She was also Team Leader for a  Center for Cre
 ative Land Recycling project that developed a working application for the 
 Texas State Aquarium.\nSavannah is a Sophomore in Computer Science. She ha
 s learned the basics of her future field, yet was one of the first student
 s to volunteer for this opportunity. When asked what computational experie
 nce she said, “… minor computer science experience, but I had to Google wh
 at HPC stood for, if that tells you anything.” She is fierce and fearless.
 \nHunter Carver is inspiring. As a Junior in Computer Science, Hunter focu
 ses on Systems Programming. He earned an Associate’s Degree in Computer Pr
 ogramming from Del Mar College, founded their first Computer Science Club,
  and remains a member of the College Hall of Fame. As a growing R2 institu
 tion, TAMU-CC is home to one of seven test sites for Unmanned Aircraft Sys
 tems (UAS) in the US. Hunter interns at our UAS Center where the competiti
 on experience will be directly beneficial. He has also developed a 240Mh/s
  mining rig to validate the Ethereum Blockchain.\nOrlando Gomez is a Sopho
 more in Computer Science focusing on Cybersecurity. Orlando has a Linux ce
 rtification and is pursuing a student employee position in TAMU-CC’s Divis
 ion of IT. He has the drive to excel in this competition, in order to buil
 d his knowledge and experience.\nNabil and Amine are both international st
 udents from Algeria. In speaking with Amine, he discussed how his home is 
 lagging in the technology field and struggles with limited access to educa
 tional resources. Even so, Nabil and Amine have awe-inspiring resumes. Bot
 h competed in a 48-hour competition by designing a robot to assist the vis
 ually impaired with navigation. They won first place regionally and third 
 place globally. They are also both tutors on campus which will be a great 
 asset when training less experienced members of the team.\nOur mentor, Dr.
  Xin Yang is an Assistant Research Scientist at TAMUs High Performance Res
 earch Computing (HPRC). Her expertise is in the area of computational chem
 istry and molecular modeling. She joined the IndySCC 21 as a co-advisor fo
 r the TAMU-PVAMU joint Gig ‘em bytes team.\n\nRegistration Category: Tech
