> The Blue Waters Petascale project (an NSF-funded supercomputer a MILLION times faster than your mac or pc!) also funds 20 internships.  You have the chance to propose a project that will help one of your students:
> 
> • Learn how to run science codes on the nation's fastest academic supercomputer
> • Learn parallel thinking and parallel processing in the context of real science
> • Have all expenses paid for a 2-week Institute at the University of Illinois
> • Receive a $5000 stipend for working for you on your project during the summer and following school year
> • Compete to represent the project at the Blue Waters Symposium in 2016
> • Make friends and develop collaborations with students from across the country.
> 
> We are looking for as diverse an applicant group as we can, and we could use your imagination and enthusiasm to propose a project and to encourage a student to apply to work with you on that project.
