An algebra tutorial designed by a San Diego high school student and a mathematical game created by a 4th grade math teacher in San Diego were among five projects assisted or developed by the Educational Technology Laboratory at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) that won awards at the 11th annual "SIGKids" competition. The recognition was made as part of SIGGRAPH, the annual national graphics convention, which was held July 27-31 at the San Diego Convention Center and attended by about 25,000 registrants. The juried SIGKids competition was designed to recognize computer visualization projects that promote the development of multisensory interactions, multilingual formats, lifetime learning, and interdisciplinary approaches.

Judges recently named the two winners of the 2003 Computational Science Olympics, with the two top student entries from San Diego State University (SDSU) focused on a frighteningly topical subject matter: bioterrorism. One of the two student groups that tied for first place simulated the spread of anthrax through a 100-story building. The other group investigated the effectiveness of smallpox inoculation programs against a bioterror attack on a population of 100,000 people, a small city approximately the size of Bismarck, North Dakota.
