Subject: [Year 12 SofDev] VITTA Programming Awards 2009

 

Hi everyone (and apologies for the cross posts)!,

 

It is my please to announce the opening of the VITTA Programming Awards
for 2009!

 

http://www.progawards.vitta.org.au/

 

This year we have tried to make the awards as open as possible by
allowing any software type to be used!  There are four student
categories of entry: Primary Programming, Primary Games Programming,
Secondary Programming and Secondary Games Programming.  

 

There is also a Teacher category this year!

 

Students are challenged to write a general purpose or game program that
addresses one of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals in some
way.  The amount to which the program is linked to one of these goals
could vary immensely, but students should be able to describe and
justify this link.  You can find the Millennium Goals here:
http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ and you will also find them listed on
the Programming Awards web-site as well as some program ideas!

 

Schools can send in as many student entries as they like - but must
register by the 24th August.  If you do not have a good idea of how many
entries you will be sending in - have a rough guess.  The main purpose
of the registration process is so that I can email updates and reminders
out to you (or the person who will be managing the student's entries
from your school).

 

Entries may be new or existing programs (as long as they have not been
entered into the Programming Awards previously) - and (or course) must
address the theme.  

 

All the best - and good luck!

Adrian Janson

VITTA President
