This week NW did a nifty feature story on Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, the nation’s premier technical high school for math and science whiz kids.
Located in Alexandria, Virginia, this school’s got a computer lab most of us would kill for: 40 workstations, one Pentium cluster, one MIPS cluster, 10 Intel-based servers, a Sun server, a Cray supercomputer and a Cisco Catalyst 4006 with several blades. Then there’s the students’ home nets, like one girl who has six computers in her bedroom. What, no Cray?
Click here to check out the story and learn more about the place that will graduate the kids who will develop the technology we’ll be buying in the future. Or, worse-case scenario (for them), they’ll be the people who will staff your help desk and yell at you for taking up too much space on the mail server.
