Students toured the State of Ohio Computer Center today, where they got a behind-the-scenes look at the infrastructure that powers research across the state — including our high-performance supercomputing clusters. ⚙️💻

The experience offered a unique glimpse into the world of supercomputing — one we hope will stay with them throughout their time with us and beyond.
