Hi UCI, UCSD and Harvey Mudd Students,
Dust off your mix tapes, brush up your Pac-Man skills, and put on your shoulder pads because The Google Games are back and this year we’re celebrating the Greats of the 80s! Think you got game? Compete against other students from UCI, UCSD, and Harvey Mudd for victory in challenges that test your brains and creativity to the max at The Google Games Irvine!
It’s on like Donkey Kong when teams of five go head to head in rigorous events: Geek Trivia, Building Challenge, Puzzles and Coding Competition. If you haven’t caught on just yet, this year’s theme is Greats of the 1980’s so make sure to throw on your parachute pants, leg warmers, and neon colors and get ready for a radical time! Check out the totally awesome time we had in The Google Games last year here.
Find four friends (Computer Science background strongly recommended) and register here. Can't find a team? Sign up as an individual and we will do our best to put you in a team with others. In addition to the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, Google will also be supplying free refreshments to all participants and wicked cool prizes to our top competitors. Bring it on!
