Nov 26th, 2024: Warren High School Science Club Visit

We welcomed 47 Warren High School students to our site for a site tour and education as part of Science Club activity.

Feedback from students: Students had the opportunity to see how data miners and cooling towers worked. Getting to see the water and oil mixture travel through the pipes to the cooling towers was a pretty neat experience. Getting to go inside each of the pods to the computers in action as well as feeling the temperature difference was also noted by the students. Our guide, Cody Miller, did a great job of answering the questions of the students. He was very knowledgeable and able to describe the answers in a way that students could understand. Bitcoin and how they are mined is an extremely interesting field. Walking into the greenhouse that was being warmed by just one of the cooling towers was also mentioned by the students. Overall this was a great experience and great show and tell.
