Spring 2009

Who can participate in Spring 2009?

Any undergraduate UTD student, High School student or Community College student in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex area.

For the Spring 2009 Competition, UTD Instructors may nominate undergraduate students from any CS/SE/TE class. The instructor is not limited in the number of nominations that may be made from a single class. Students can enhance the project beyond the class description if they wish. ComputingFest is about celebrating the tremendous talent and capability of our undergraduate student population.

The submitted project may represent work that was initiated within a class as a regular assignment. The submitted project may be the work of a single individual or of a team from a single class.

We also consider projects initiated by the student's own initiative and not part of a regular class. However, a faculty member must sponsor the project, i.e., must be able to determine that the project is of enough quality to be presented. Note that the organizers themselves may take the role of this faculty member.

There are 5 competition tracks which are defined by the level of the course from which the nomination was made.

High School students
Freshman
Sophomore and Community College students
Junior
Senior

The date when the project was developed is irrelevant, as long as it was developed while the student was an undergraduate (or in high school). Graduate students can participate if the project was completed before their graduation.

It can be a group or individual project.

To register for ComputingFest please follow the "Register" link and send the required information. Registration closes on April 17th, 2009!!!

Each contestant is allowed 10 minutes to present their project according to the following format:

Design and Goals: 3 minutes
Presentation of Solution: 5 minutes
Dialogue with judges: 2 minutes
