Institute For Computing In Research

The Institute for Computing in Research is a consortium of researchers, students, and teachers who work on pedagogical aspects of using advanced computing methods for research and scholarship. Any application of computing to physical science, life science, social science, arts and humanities is of interest to our researchers. We are located in Santa Fe (New Mexico), Portland (Oregon), and Austin (Texas). At the Institute, our mission is to train pre-college students in developing in-depth research skills and advanced programming methods through the guidance of mentors and teachers. This is accomplished through weekend intensive programming workshops, followed by biweekly mini courses in programming. All of this training culminates in our summer internship program, where we pay students a stipend to conduct research under the guidance of our world-class volunteer mentors.
