VIRTUAL JOB SHADOW

Welcome to your first day on the job! Watch this video to see what a day in the life of a Computational Research Scientist is like.

The modern computer is an incredible machine capable of infinite calculations. But so is your brain! To get a sense of what computational research scientists do, and the limits of computers, try this fun brain vs. computer challenge!

STEP 1: Take this brain speed (aka mental processing) quiz.

STEP 2: Research the average computer processing speed.

STEP 3: Compare your results to a computers’. Which is faster?

STEP 4: Now ask your computer to tell you how your mom is feeling. Who wins? Why?

Optional: Post your brain speed quiz results and answer to step 4 in our Student Showcase to build your resume!
