The Indy Student Cluster Competition (IndySCC) completed its second year of competition, expanding and building upon the fist year. The IndySCC is a fully virtual competition, with a focus on education, and is part of the student program within the Supercomputing (SC) conference series. The competition aims to engage teams who do not get into the in-person, Student Cluster Challenge (SCC) and to build and train inexperienced teams to eventually go on to the SCC. The first year featured 5 teams and in the second year, this grew to 11 accepted teams in 2022. This work aims to provide an update to how the competition has grown, the challenges, and the plans to grow in the future.
