About NCSA SPIN program:

The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) has a history of nurturing innovative concepts, and some of the best ideas have come from highly motivated, creative undergraduates.  The SPIN (Students Pushing Innovation) internship program was launched to provide University of Illinois undergraduates with the opportunity to apply their skills to real challenges in computing and data analysis, bioinformatics and health sciences, earth and environment, materials and manufacturing, physics and astronomy, visualization, cybersecurity, and other areas of interest to NCSA.
