Note about this year’s contest:
To broaden contest participation, we will again administer two 8-week contest sessions during this academic year.
- A Fall session will take place from October 2012 – December 2012.
- The contest will also run (as it has traditionally) during a Winter session from January 2013 – March 2013.
Teams can sign up to compete in the Fall session or Winter session.
All submissions from the Fall and Winter sessions will be judged together in Spring 2013.
