2025 Rosie Supercomputer Super Challenge: Wednesday, April 23, 2025
Are you up to the challenge?
You’ve seen Rosie, now it’s time to demonstrate your skills in using MSOE’s supercomputer!
MSOE Regent and alumnus Dr. Dwight Diercks is challenging MSOE students to make use of Rosie. If you’re taking your course work to the next level, developing a side project or completing something else notable using Rosie, this is for you! First-time Rosie users are encouraged to enter as well. Create a poster, short paper, or short video presentation on what you did and how you used Rosie.
What problem did you solve using Rosie?
Is there a solution you’ve developed with Rosie to improve a process, or answer to a difficult question?
The opportunities are endless! Share your best work for a chance to win amazing prizes. Open to any MSOE student or team of MSOE students.
