A working session with the teachers of the New Mexico Supercomputing Challenge Summer Teacher Institute — your phone as a device you host, then a room that maps itself. It starts Wednesday at 2:00 PM, Mountain time.
Counting down to the live session.
The app is already open: play the laser lab, explore the single-device prototypes, and get your phone ready. At 2:00 PM Wednesday this becomes the door into the live room.
Each app in this curriculum is its own directory under apps/supercomputingchallenge/. A new one built from a prompt becomes a sibling.
Track a laser dot off your webcam through three algorithms — brightest pixel, color mask, centroid — where each stage's failure chooses the next. Opens on the prompt that built it.
apps/supercomputingchallenge/laserThe teacher landing: how the room comes together, the single-device prototypes (all local, nothing uploaded), and the four-hour arc for the week.
apps/supercomputingchallenge/stiA model everyone can stand around — a live wildfire simulation projected onto real terrain. Scan the code and your phone joins the shared table.
apps/supercomputingchallenge/simtableOne ladder: your phone → one algorithm (the laser lab) → one model, many hands (the SimTable).
