FW: October 22nd, 2016 - 3rd Annual Dulles Programming Contest!
Coffman, Vicki
Just a reminder a little closer to the time. Hope to see you here!
(There are a few people who are receiving this for the first time – sorry for missing you on the first invitation.)
For people entering Scratch teams, I located the 2015 key:
https://scratch.mit.edu/users/anonaipai/projects/
I can also send the 2014 key upon request, but it’s a number of files and I didn’t want to overload everyone with attachments.
I’d love it if you could a) let me know if you are coming and b) give me a rough estimate of your number of teams.
Thanks!

I’m sure I’ll find some error/omission in my information/registration documents as soon as I hit “send,” but I gotta send this out sometime…..!
You are invited to the third annual Dulles programming contest on October 22nd 2016! We will have Java Advanced, Java Novice, and Scratch (for elementary, middle school, and high school novices) divisions, plus a UIL-style written test.
The Scratch contest will be graded on the computer; the Java contests will require file input. Summary of file input attached in case your novices might find it useful, plus information and registration forms. Our previous Scratch packets are also attached – if you would like the keys, please email me.
Please reply, using the attached registration form, by Thursday, October 13th. A rough estimate of numbers as soon as you can get it to me would be appreciated. We can accommodate 100+ teams, so hopefully everyone who wants to attend can do so.
Don’t hesitate to email or call if you have any questions. Please feel free (nay, encouraged!) to forward this to anyone I’ve left out. (Conversely, please forgive any duplicate or unwanted mailings, or let me know and I’ll correct my email list.)
Looking forward to seeing you!
Parenthetical remark:
For last year’s attendees, we would like to state that the wiring into the building was completely redone over the summer, and that we will have Uninterruptible Power Supplies for the judging computers and the routers. Just in case, we recommend that laptop batteries be fully charged. However, we do NOT expect a repeat of last year’s events (knock on wood)!
