Coding Event Need to Knows

Please make sure to pass this information onto your students:
  • Participants must bring a laptop to the competition.  Please make sure the student can log onto the laptop prior to the day of the event.
  • Use of the Internet is not allowed during the event; however, reference materials is permitted.
  • As of now, we are scheduled to be in Locker Room 2 (it may be a tight squeeze in there this year!).  Locker Room 2 is located under the seats in the hallway on the far side of the stage, as you enter Rupp from the Showcase area.
  • I have attached a copy of last year’s prompt so that your student(s) have an idea of what to expect.  Last year, we only had one prompt as it was a difficult challenge.  In years past, we have had upwards of 3 separate prompts that had to be completed in the 2 hour time frame.  You’ll see that we use a different rubric than in the handbook.  It will vary this year as well, with the most points for accurately solving the prompt(s).
  • Participants will turn in their solution(s) via a USB flash drive that we will provide.  If the entry is in the form of a compiled program, rather than a script, then the source code must be present as well.
