U-22 Programming Contest 2017: Now Accepting Entries!

In 2017, we’ve added “AI” as a new category and look forward to seeing the possibilities opened up by this new technology.
Additionally, we’ve introduced a new “Elementary School Division” for children 12 and under, where entries will be judged primarily on their “ideas.”Why not take advantage of
summer vacation to turn the various “lessons” and “ideas”—whether learned at school or programming classes, or inspired by your daily life—into something tangible through this contest?
The submission deadline is Thursday, August 17, 2017. I will serve as a judge.
