Events
Participate, enjoy, learn!
Applied Computing Foundation hosts several global competitions to promote technology throughout the year, creativity, collaboration, teamwork, and even healthy ambition. Some of these competitions expect rigorous submittal requirements (ideal for high school students), while some are more informal and fun-oriented (suitable for middle school or younger kids). Find the one that sticks to you and compete with us!
P.S.: And oh, we have prizes for most of these contests, and you can participate in as many as you like.
