Competition Detials

At the annual conference, teams are given a real-world based scenario to design a web-based solution and then present it to a team of judges. Teams have up to 4 weeks to complete part 1of the problem, and then 8 hours during the conference to complete part 2 of the problem. This allows students to learn to work as a team, task management, role definitions, troubleshooting, and presentation skills. Judges score based on user web experience, presentation, and coding ability.

Teams also take a quiz based on basic common computer knowledge in areas such as hardware, software, number systems, graphical user interface, internet terminology, web design (HTML/ CSS), and BDPA general knowledge.
