Arrière plan

SPICE  is a one month Summer Data Science Research Immersion, serving students from Hawai`i, the continental US and the US-affiliated Pacific Region. Students are welcomed from a wide range both computational and non-computational majors.  SPICE students code in R and Python, use NSF  HPC resources at TACC and via Jetstream, use  science gateways and develop GitHub professional portfolios.  SPICE participants represent the region’s diversity, and include significant numbers of women and veterans.  SPICE students work in thematic areas that are of central importance to the Hawaii-Pacific region including Climate Analytics,  Health Inequity and the security/societal impacts of Misinformation/Disinformation. SPICE has a strong cultural component led by Kumu Kahoali’i Keahi and culminates in a ho`ike and showcase of student projects. Places in SPICE are sponsored by the Alliance, Hawaii EPSCoR, Pacific Intelligence Innovation Initiative, NIH AIM-AHEAD and the University of Hawaii Department of Quantitative Health Sciences. SPICE mentors include faculty, analysts, and peer mentors (usually SPICE alums) who are senior students or returning graduates.
