Join the Association of Computing Machinery Programming Contest Oct. 18
Join the K-State Association of Computing Machinery student chapter for the 2014 Fall Programming Contest from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18, in the Nichols Hall Atrium and computer and information science computer labs.
Teams of up to three friends may solve programming problems using C / C++ / Java, enjoy free food and have a chance to win great prizes. Teams may register on the day of the event, but space is limited. To guarantee your team a spot, teams may register in advance.
Each team will be assigned one computer to work on. If participants don't have a team and would like one, they may indicate this on the form. This is a great way for students to learn about and practice programming in a fun environment.
Programming contest schedule:
• 9 a.m., Sponsors arrive and set-up
• 9:30-10:30 a.m., Team registration
• 11 a.m., Contest begins
• 4 p.m., Contest ends.
• 4:15 p.m., Sponsor announcements and prizes — winners should stay for photos.
Prizes include:
- First place: Vizio 48-Inch 1080p Smart LED HDTV for each team member
- Second place: Bose QC15 Noise Canceling Headphones for each team member
- Third place: Razer DeathAdder & BlackWidow Gaming Mouse & Keyboard set for each team member
- Door prizes: multiple Chromecasts and Garmin VivoFit Wrist Bands
