Apparently, they were used for a regional green code competition; run a Pi for as long as you can using efficient code. They expected up to 70 teams would compete. Now that the competition is over (and the founding company has changed hardware) they are being donated
Oh no, no supercomputers here (although that might have been interesting to try, but I'm pretty sure my NVIDIA TK1 does a better job). Joke aside, they are for my graduate engineering school.
Actually, that is exactly what happened. I'm an IoT lecturer, and this was a gift from a local company. They are currently sleeping safely in my home office, but tomorrow they will go to their new home, and wait patiently for students to come up with projects (or until I assign them projects)
