Parallelization of the Molecular Workbench
"The Molecular Workbench, developed by the Concord Consortium, is an environment for building and simulating scientific models. These models are primarily related to physics and chemistry applications; for
example, chemical reactions and the behavior of objects on a molecular level. As such, the software
iteratively calculates forces exerted on large numbers of particles in the models during simulations."
My summer project was to develop interactive worksheets using the Molecular Workbench to incorporate Computer Science concepts and introduce them to high school students in the Poudre High School District area. This way we are able to use the same medium of the Workbench and introduce new concepts, thus, encouraging students in a familiar environment to explore Computer Science as a career choice in college.
