In my work, my goal is to process very large amount of data. In order to process such large amount of data I need to write a code that can compute the task in parallel on very large and powerful server machines. This is called parallel programming. This idea is similar to setting up multiple desktop computers to compute the same task on a large data, where each computer looks at different portion of the data and together they find the answer I am looking for. The task can be done much faster with multiple computers than if I was just using a single computer.

My experiments can run for days or weeks on large and powerful servers. So I need to keep detailed log with all the experiments I am currently running. Then I use various software to process my results. I then discuss this results with my co-workers. This discussion helps me to decide next steps I should take with my current research. Possible next steps could be, fixing a bug in my code, presenting my results at a conference or designing additional experiments.

CoderDojo club is a great way to show primary school students how cool computer science really is. However in order to keep the students engaged, it is nice to have multiple activities planned. For example Lego Mindstorms lets students to first design a robot and when build, the robot can also be programmed to perform simple tasks.
