Winners and runners up 2016

There were eight entries in our poster presentation competition held on Community Day at the HPCC System Engineering Summit in 2016. All entries were of such an incredibly high standard that it was hard for our four judges to choose winners. It is clear, from the entries, that there is a lot of great work being done by students working on HPCC Systems related projects and they all deserve recognition for their achievements.
