Other Details:
As students register, it is important that they note which competition they’ll be in, what programming language they intend to use (We are language agnostic so as long as you can write the code and explain it to  the judges we will accept it. C, C++, C#, Java, Visual Basic are  preferred if we have a choice.), and if they’ll be bringing their own hardware. Students bringing their own hardware should plan to arrive closer to 7:30am in order to allow for time to set-up.

Students will receive a registration confirmation email that will include a rules agreement attachment. Student have this completed when they check-in on competition day.

Students will be provided a lunch in the middle of the day.

This is an individual competition. Not a team competition.

Using tools such as cell phones, the internet, phoning a friend, etc. will be considered cheating. Any participant caught doing such thing will be disqualified immediately.

Can teachers, coaches and advisers attend?
Adults are encouraged to attend and support their competitors within the defined parameters that will be sent. Adults do not count toward the  100-competitor cap. This is an excellent opportunity to find out more  about DigiPen Institute Of Technology, get to know people teaching  similar courses, and just hang out in a programmer haven.
