Software Design Competition: Design Kickoff

October 14, 2019 — 6:30-8:30 PM

(Posted on 2019-10-14)

Test your skills at designing and implementing software! This is the kickoff of a 3-event series.

What is SDC?

The Software Design Competition, or SDC for short, is like a hackathon in miniature. Students are tasked with designing a piece of software to solve a problem. They then create a concept and prototype a solution to fit the requirements of the problem.

How does it work?

The competition is spread over two weeks. During the first week, competitors ideate and design their concept. New this year, competitors can use the second week to implement a prototype of their idea.

What do I need to participate?

Participation is absolutely free! All you need is a computer, some spunk, and a handful of good ideas.
