This year, BDPA's national High School Computer Competition (HSCC) will be held in Atlanta, GA during the National BDPA Technology Conference, August 6-9, 2008. Final competition teams selected to represent Washington DC and Northern Virginia will be made up of 3-5 students each. However, other students will be eligible to participate in BDPA's annual Youth Technology Camp (YTC). The competition team also will enjoy an all-expense paid trip to the national conference.
All students will be allowed to participate in the YTC and other planned student activities. The competition team will compete with other BDPA chapter teams throughout the United States developed web applications, mastering computer theory, conducting oral presentations and publishing their team's deliverables during written competition.
The top five teams will win college scholarships, computer hardware and software. The BDPA Foundation may extend scholarship awards to the top six teams in 2008. BDPA Washington DC student members and HSCC students will be afforded an opportunity an opportunity to participate or attend this year's TeraGrid Conference and Supercomputing 2008 (SC08) Expo later this year.
BDPA student memberships also are available to area students at a very nominal annual fee of only $15 for full-time students. Join a local BDPA Chapter or start a small Chapter Interest Group within your school today.
Bowie State University will host this year's BDPA Regional HSCC and IT Showcase on Saturday, June 21st.
