ISEF = International Science and Engineering Fair – lots of really bright high school students.. http://www.societyforscience.org/intelisef2013
Anyway.. A few projects looking at interconnect topologies (comparing a novel strategy for generating hierarchical interconnects against mesh/toroid/etc.) A few projects where they ported something onto some graphics card as an accelerator. A fair number (a dozen?) which used a cluster to do something computationally intensive. Some of the clusters were pretty small (e.g. 8 nodes) so a good example of making do with what is cheap and available. 10-15 years ago, I doubt there were any projects that were Beowulf related (except perhaps something analyzing the book or linguistics) So, Beowulfs are definitely mainstream, if they're being used as a "utility" by talented high school students.
