Contest Coordinator: Joe Gray
Contestants will be provided with a series of project requirements that a program they write must meet. That program will be written during the allotted competition timeframe using a computer contestants provide and physical references or manuals either provided by the contestant or the contest coordinator – no online materials will be permitted. Additional Information: Contestants will have a fixed number of attempts to have their program validated before submission to judges. In addition to meeting requirements, a contestant’s program will be evaluated for other criteria, such as completeness, correctness of output, input validation, internal documentation, efficiency of code, and quality of work. The following programming languages are approved for this year’s competition: Java, C++, Visual Basic, RPG, C#, Python, and JavaScript. Required Equipment: The student must bring a laptop computer, software, extension cords/power strips, language/programming reference materials, and pencils/paper for the test. No online materials, including Kindles, Nooks, or any other eReaders, will be permitted!
