👉 Annie Computing is an initiative by the University of Edinburgh that aims to democratize access to computing resources and education, particularly for underrepresented groups. Launched in 2017, it provides free access to high-performance computing resources, including GPUs and cloud services, to students, researchers, and community members who might otherwise lack such opportunities due to financial constraints. The program offers workshops, training sessions, and mentorship to help participants develop essential computational skills, fostering a more inclusive and diverse computing community. By bridging the digital divide, Annie Computing seeks to empower individuals from various backgrounds to engage with and contribute to the rapidly evolving field of computing, ultimately driving innovation and technological advancement.
