IEEE Xtreme Programming Contest

The Xtreme Competition, which begins and ends on 1 December 2007, pits the programming prowess of an IEEE Student Branch team against the programming capabilities of all the other IEEE Student Branch teams that sign up to compete. The global 24-hour programming contest is open only to members of the IEEE Student Branches. Teams of IEEE Student Members, supported by a Student Branch, will be advised and proctored by an IEEE Member. The teams will compete against each other during a 24-hour time span to solve a set of programming problems. The contest begins at 12:00 midnight. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of IEEE activities with a focus on the computer, programming, and information technology fields in the IEEE. The purpose of the competition activity is also to get more current Student Members involved in the general activities of the IEEE while encouraging new students to join the IEEE.
