CoderDojo Dun Laoghaire kids at launch of Ireland’s new supercomputer

CoderDojo Dun Laoghaire members DJ and Keelan were lucky enough to be able to go to Dunsink Observatory for the launch of “Fionn”, Ireland’s new supercomputer, on 14th November.

Here is some information about Fionn from the Irish Centre for High End Computing (ICHEC) website.

A student from DCU CoderDojo came up with the name “Fionn” , which stems from Fionnachtana (the Irish for “discovery”) and Fionn mac Cumhaill.

Some photos from the day:
