OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF SG@SCHOOLS PROGRAMME

The PC Grid Computing for Schools programme, also known as SG@Schools, is officially launched today by Mr. Richard Lim, Chairman of the National Grid Steering Committee (NGSC) at a two-day vacation camp for students and teachers to kick-off the programme.

The SG@Schools programme is jointly organised by Defence Science & Technology Agency, Ministry of Education and the National Grid Office, with support from the National University of Singapore and Singapore Computer Systems.

The SG@Schools programme is an effort to promote PC Grid Computing in schools. Students will be able to generate interesting solutions to solve computationally intensive problems in Science and Engineering by harnessing the enormous amount of processing cycles achieved through aggregating the available PCs in schools.
